Just did a taping job for drywall. I got some air pockets here and there in mine that are probably of medium size. Do you think I should be worried. I am going to end up splatter texturing it and painting it. THanks

If they're not to big, cut them out with a razor blade and mud over the repaired spot. If you don't they will eventually get worse and peel.

As thezster pointed out they will not go away!! Repairing them now is easy compared to fixing them after texture :eek:
