Had to scrape off and restart project
Would Not RecommendThe stuff wouldn’t dry after days and was severely cracking. Customer support was of no help and they can’t explain what happened. They offered to refund the cost of the stuff but doesn’t make up for the lost time and extra labor to remove and restart project.

Beware of "Low Dust" claims
Would Not RecommendUnfortunately Primer and paint does not adhere properly to 'low dust' mud. There are numerous problems with bubbles forming, or paint pulling off the area.

Too thin and long dry time
Would Not RecommendThis product is runny, drips everywhere and slides down the wall before it dries. Left the patches overnight and the product was still very wet after 19 hours. Not practical. Use the regular white stuff.

Perfect for repairs and other small jobs.
Would RecommendFeathers out very nicely for smaller repairs with hardly any sanding.Yet when I tried doing regular tapping with it, I found it hard to work with.

Runs
Would Not RecommendIt`s ok, but if you put it on thicker than a sheet of paper it will run. Regular stuff for me from now on.

Product not acceptable
Would Not RecommendThis joint compound was way too runny and would just drip when you tried to apply it. I would under no circumstances recommend this to anyone. It took three times as long to do the job as it should have taken due to the consistency of the product. I would have rated it lower if it were possible.

I like pink
Would RecommendIt's convenient to have the color change from pink to white so that you know is dry, especially when you are patching larger areas.
