Joint compound

Okay, kiddo, do you remember when we painted your room and we filled in all the cracks and holes on the walls before we started painting? Well, that's where joint compound comes in!

Joint compound is a thick, smooth, and gooey paste that looks like toothpaste. We use it to fill in tiny gaps, holes, or cracks on walls or ceilings. It's made of a special powder mixed with water to make a thick paste.

The joint compound is very helpful because it dries quickly, so we can paint over it without waiting a lot of time. It's also great because we can sand it down until it's super smooth, and it won't crack or shrink over time like some other fillers.

Overall, joint compound is like a magical toothpaste that smooths out walls, so they look perfect for painting. Plus, it's easy to use, and even you, my little helper, can help me apply it on the walls.
