What Customers Are Saying

The product is easy to use, applies smoothly, and dries quickly, allowing for a seamless finish. It sands well and is suitable for both small patching jobs and more extensive drywall repair and finishing tasks. The compound is generally considered a good value, particularly in the smaller tub sizes, and works well for both novice and experienced users. While a few customers reported the compound being too thin or watery, these seem to be isolated issues.

So much water, couldn't use

Would Not Recommend

This was impossible to use, it was so runny and so much "liquid", not usable. I ended up just going out the garage and mixed up some 20 minute. I bought this for a very small job and to not have to mess with the mess, oh well.

Works as Advertised

Would Recommend

This product works exactly as intended. It is wet enough that it does not dry out in the bucket during application, and dry enough that it sticks to the surface and spreads evenly without clumping. Application on the ceiling and walls was equally effective.

This product had been opened and about an inch was used. Refilled with water and returned and then restocked on the shelf. Please do not restock used items unless they are complete

Not Usable

Would Not Recommend

Mix was thin, watery and slippery on the blade. Could not do a vertical surface without making a mess. Finally threw it in the garbage. Went back to the normal brand I use. Worked great. So much for trying a different brand.

Like Soup

Would Not Recommend

There was so much water in the mix that it would not stick to the taping blade. I had to leave the container open in the heat for 2 days to thicken up before i could use it.
