        "text": "The duration of drywall repair varies significantly based on the extent and type of damage. Minor repairs, like filling small nail holes, might take a few hours to complete and dry. More extensive repairs, involving patching larger holes or multiple layers of joint compound, can require 24-48 hours for each layer to dry properly, potentially stretching the repair process over several days. Drying times are also influenced by humidity and ventilation.",
