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.

Joint compound

The joint compound was watery! Hard to work with!

Works as Advertised

Would Recommend

This product works exactly as intended. It is wet enough that it does not dry out in the bucket during application, and dry enough that it sticks to the surface and spreads evenly without clumping. Application on the ceiling and walls was equally effective.

Not Usable

Would Not Recommend

Mix was thin, watery and slippery on the blade. Could not do a vertical surface without making a mess. Finally threw it in the garbage. Went back to the normal brand I use. Worked great. So much for trying a different brand.

Like Soup

Would Not Recommend

There was so much water in the mix that it would not stick to the taping blade. I had to leave the container open in the heat for 2 days to thicken up before i could use it.
