What Customers Are Saying

The product is generally praised for its ease of use, smooth application, and ability to create a seamless finish. Many highlight that it sands easily and dries quickly, making it well-suited for small patching and repair jobs. However, a small number of customers reported issues with the compound being too thin or watery, and difficult to apply, especially on ceilings. Overall, the positive reviews indicate this is an effective and user-friendly option for DIY drywall work.

Easy to use

Would Recommend

It works perfectly for what I need it to do. I had the asbestos popcorn scraped off my drywall ceiling, and they did a good job of not damaging the drywall too much, so I only need to level off some areas before I paint the ceiling. This pre-mixed mud is easy to apply and sand. Remember to apply in thin coats - it's much easier to do multiple coats than it is to sand through too much mud.

Would Recommend

Good product but the variability in the viscosity can be an issue. Sometime it is perfect and some time it can be runny and then you need to let it dry out a bit.
