        "text": "Most drywall patches take between one and two days from start to finish. While cutting the drywall and applying the backing takes under an hour, the process requires multiple thin coats of joint compound, each needing several hours to dry before sanding and applying the next layer. Fast-setting mud can accelerate drying times, but ambient humidity and temperature can influence cure rates. Once the final compound layer is smooth and sanded, applying wall texture and primer adds additional drying time before finish paint can go on.",
