What's the difference between joint compound and spackle when it comes to repairing drywall?
Joint compound is a versatile material used for taping and finishing drywall seams, while spackle is a lightweight filler primarily used for small repairs and patching holes in drywall. Joint compound is typically applied in multiple layers for a smooth finish, while spackle is quick-drying and easy to sand for a seamless repair.

What is the best technique for applying spackle to drywall to achieve a smooth and seamless finish?
The best technique for applying spackle to drywall to achieve a smooth and seamless finish is to apply multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to dry completely before sanding and applying the next layer.
