        "text": "Yes, priming after repairing a drywall crack is highly recommended. Primer seals the repaired area, preventing the new paint from absorbing unevenly into the patch material, which can cause a dull spot or 'flashing.' It also provides a uniform surface for the topcoat, ensuring a smooth, consistent finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall.",
