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.

Goes on easily and evenly

 Would Recommend

This went on easily and spread evenly. It was a bit more liquid than I expected but did the job. I ended up needed more than anticipated. Dry time was also longer than expected.
