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.

abnormal shrinking

Would Recommend

I used this compound to repair some Sheetrock defects on a job. I expected to need only two coats, but I ended up applying three or more because the compound shrank quite a bit after drying. The shrinkage made the job more time-consuming than anticipated. If you're working on deeper repairs, be prepared to apply extra coats to get a smooth finish. That said, the compound sands well..
