Not a 6-Pack, but good spackle.

This item says it's a 6-pack, but when ordering on-line & picking up at Lowe's only 1 can was provided. The Zinsser Patching Component is very good, as it hardens like a rock.

Excellent Product

I used this to fill in a few dents I had in a metal door. It worked like a charm. After sanding and painting you can’t even see where the dents are!

Not to be used as fast-dry mud substitute

Would Not Recommend

Got this to smooth the surface after relocating some bathroom vanity lights and patching the former holes in the smooth plaster wall. I was running short on time and tried this instead of drywall mud since it dries faster and was on plaster. BAD application for this. It is quite hard and very dense making it incredibly difficult to sand it completely flat and smooth. Much different than drywall mud in this way.

White "Spackle"

Would Recommend

This is my "go to" spackle. A can is in my truck at all times. Spreads smoothly, dries in about an hour (depending on weather conditions). Sands smooth. no problems. My only wish is that it was packaged in a little smaller container. Sometimes it starts to get hard while in the can if I don't use it regularly.

Difficult to sand

I originally went to replace the DAP that I ran out of but this was suggested to me by Lowes staff. This was not the correct choice for my particular project. It is more of a mud than a patch. Very difficult to sand. I guess it would be good for heavy duty work.

Fantastic Product !

Would Recommend

I read the positive reviews and decided to purchase for my upcoming project (facia boards, siding repairs). I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. The applies easier than any similar product I've ever used. It is so smooth that makes repairs was a breeze. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a good quality patching material. Can't say enough good things about it. I know I will always have a can around the house!

I've used the name brands for years and chose this because of the Rustoleum brand. It delivers. Used outside and on garage drywall in cold temps. Better than the name brands and cheaper too. Highly recommend.

worked good, slow to cure

Would Recommend

Patched some rotten wood on a door frame. With cold weather it took several days to cure, perhaps the application was also too thick. Seems to have worked well though. Don't forget to prime it before painting.

Useless as an exterior product

Would Not Recommend

Used this product on the exterior wood siding of my house in southern CA after I had scraped off patches of old peeling paint and sanded. Several days later I applied a high quality primer and then two coats of a valspar paint+primer product. Within weeks, the joints I had filled cracked. Now, a couple of months later we experience our first measurable rainfall and a day later I see that the spots that were filled with this product have cracked and paint is lifting off surface. Worthless.

The best patching compound I've ever used

Would Recommend

Ready Patch is the ultimate for non traditional surfaces, and it's a bit off-white, not bright white and that is a good thing. I wouldn't say Low-Odor however when using indoors in a confined space, ventilation is necessary

Very slow dry time

Would Not Recommend

The can says ready to sand and paint in 30 min. More like 6 hours - No faster than standard mud - I was very disappointed.

Outdoor raised bed repair

Would Recommend

MH Ready Patch filled the cracks in outdoor wooden frames around raised garden beds. It dried quickly without shrinking and was easily painted with an exterior sealer. Cleanup was easy.
