What Customers Are Saying

The product is generally praised for its ease of use, smooth application, and ability to create a seamless finish. Many highlight that it sands easily and dries quickly, making it well-suited for small patching and repair jobs. However, a small number of customers reported issues with the compound being too thin or watery, and difficult to apply, especially on ceilings. Overall, the positive reviews indicate this is an effective and user-friendly option for DIY drywall work.

Basically soup

Would Not Recommend

Opened the container and it was basically watery soup, even after stirring. It was too watery to apply with any trowel or tool. Had to toss it in the trash - a waste of money.

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
