Reliable Product

Would Recommend

DAP Joint Compound was recommended to me for minor wall-board patching along with adhesive fiber-tape over seams. I found it extremely workable (like frosting), drying overnight for each of two successive coats, and sandable and paintable a day later. The pink version was not needed since it was allowed plenty of time to dry. Money saved on DIY project!

Best joint compound yet!

Would Recommend

I bought this to put up drywall and it worked perfectly! Each joint is invisible and the installation was easy with a 6inch putty knife! I would recommend this for anyone that hasn’t done much drywall work because it is most definitely “beginners friendly”.

Handy pre-mixed mud for small repairs and opening is big enough for a 5” knife.

A little on the thin side, but still did the job purchased for.
