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.

Easy to use, reduces waste, good size.

Would Recommend

This product was easy to use. I purchased it repair some corners of my walls that have “chipped off.” It smooths over easily and dries fairly quickly. It met my expectations and was a good price. I appreciate that it can be used over again for smaller projects. Do remember to make sure the cover is securely pressed on, otherwise it can become difficult to use. I would recommend the product.

Water on top when I opened. Bought 4days ago. It was rancid! Smelled horrible. I had to use some of it to finish a room I was working on. Going to return and replace. Never had a rancid tub of that before
