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.

Good product

 Would Recommend

I used this in various areas around the house that needed some drywall repair. Mostly for stress cracks above doors. I already had some All-Purpose Joint Compound, but I read that using a Finishing compound like this one on the top layers makes it easier to sand and feather out on the edges. So I used the All-Purpose Joint Compound inside the cracks and this product on top. It does seem to sand better and smooth out on the edges better. I am pleased with it.
