Now, it's to put the nail back into the dry wall by hammering it in. Then, apply a second hit to create a small dimple. The secret is not to pound hard. The next step is to drive a second nail next to the first one to hold the first one in place and to create second dimple.

Next, use a putty knife to apply the joint compound over the two nail heads/dimples. Smooth the surface up and let it dry. When the surface is dry, clean the remaining dust and now, finally, you are ready to apply the primer and repaint.
