        "text": "Blending old and new drywall requires cutting back existing material to the center of framing studs, applying fiberglass mesh or paper tape across the seams, and feathering multiple coats of joint compound outward 10 to 12 inches. Older drywall often has minor settling, surface variances, or unique plaster and paint textures that can make a sudden seam noticeable. Applying a high-grade primer before painting ensures uniform sheen. Choosing between a localized patch blend or skim coating the entire wall section is a key decision factor to avoid visible flashing under direct sunlight.",
