Garbage. Waste of money.

Would Not Recommend

This DAP material is garbage, goes on like mud, doesn't smooth out well and does not dry properly. You may as well use Playdough. Thin layer did not dry after two hours, when dry does not sand well. Other DAP joint compounds are fine; this one is worthless garbage.

Easy to use

Would Recommend

I found the joint compound to be really well mixed right out of the bucket. Did not seem to be as lightweight as others I’ve used. The pink color was great for letting me know when it was ready to be sanded or reapplied (dries completely white when dry).

Horrible Garbage Compound

Would Not Recommend

I should have read the reviews for this product before I used it. I experienced the same exact issues as everyone else - the worst being that the compound doesn’t dry properly. It stays extremely fragile and soft even after days of drying time with a fan and dehumidifier. I had to be extremely careful when painting because the compound easily pulls apart. The company responses to other reviews are pathetic and dismissive to a real quality issue.

Easy to use.

Would Recommend

We are doing a remodel for our half bath. We needed to do alot of drywall repair. We had to fix holes and in few spots we had to replace entire sections of drywall. The joint compound rely does a great job of helping to mask the damage. Its low dust so when you are sanding in between coats its not as dusty.
