What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the pink-to-white color-change feature for eliminating guesswork about drying time, and many highlight smooth application and low dust during sanding. Most report excellent results for small repairs and beginner projects, with several achieving professional finishes using thin coats. However, a substantial group reports serious adhesion problems, particularly when bedding joint tape, with tape failing to stick or peeling off. Many also experienced drying delays exceeding 24 hours and excessive shrinkage. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find the color-change feature invaluable for DIY work.

Overall great product
Joint compound spread very easily, drying time gave me enough time to work with the joint compound and apply it properly, but it still dried quickly enough for me to sand a few hours later.

Price isn’t terrible but you get what you paid for
Held up for a little bit and then just started cracking.
