What Customers Are Saying

The product appears to have mixed reviews. Some users found it easy to apply, quick-drying, and effective for small wall repairs. However, many others reported issues like sagging, slow drying, and poor consistency. Several reviewers noted the instructions were inaccurate, leading to problems when mixing and applying the product. Some felt it was not suitable for outdoor or vertical applications. Overall, the product may work well for minor indoor wall patching when used correctly, but has limitations and may not be suitable for more demanding repair jobs.

Mix well or it gets chalky and chunky

Would Recommend

It’s not very easy to mix. Make sure you have something strong enough to get to the bottom of the bucket.

Good To Have On Hand

Would Recommend

Not for Wall Repair

Would Not Recommend

I bought Presto Patch for wall repair, but now would not recommend for vertical application because it is too thin and will sag and drip. I used Platinum Patch this summer on another project and it would work better because it is much thicker, but was not on the shelf. I will continue to using Presto Patch on this project as a "base & scratch coat" and use topping compound to finish the surface. I don't know where I'd ever use this product again. Sheetrock mud shrinks, but stays in place, as d...

Would Recommend

Have used this product several times for miscellaneous filler and floor repairs. The thicker you put it on, the longer the drying time and it may need more than one coat, but it is a pretty solid product when finished.
