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

 Would Recommend

It works perfectly for what I need it to do. I had the asbestos popcorn scraped off my drywall ceiling, and they did a good job of not damaging the drywall too much, so I only need to level off some areas before I paint the ceiling. This pre-mixed mud is easy to apply and sand. Remember to apply in thin coats - it's much easier to do multiple coats than it is to sand through too much mud.

It is not alway ready for use right out of the pai

 Would Recommend

Good product but the variability in the viscosity can be an issue. Sometime it is perfect and some time it can be runny and then you need to let it dry out a bit.
