Spackle is applied in thin, even layers using a putty knife or drywall knife, allowing each layer to dry before applying subsequent coats. For larger repairs, multiple layers may be needed to build up the surface, followed by sanding to achieve a smooth, seamless finish. This methodical approach is standard practice for all our repair services.
