Amazing stuff! Clear and easy to use. Great for doing it yourself.

Great product

Used the DryDex joint compound to repair my wall for painting. Easy to use. Dried quickly.

Easy to work with

I used this to for a small wall patch. The compound was easy to work with. It went on smooth and dried quickly. I liked that it went on pink and dried white. It made it really easy to know when it was ready to be sanded and painted.

DO NOT BUY ! ! !

I'm not a pro, but I have done a lot of drywall repair on rental property & flipping houses. This product is awful. Consistency is rubbery. It does not adhere well. Tape comes loose at the edges unless an excessively thick layer of joint compound is used. Virtually impossible to lay down a smooth finish layer. Thinning with water helps slightly, but the product id still terrible.

Don’t buy this

I had a small drywall job. The size of this was perfect BUT the quality is awful. This product is too lite and thin. After drying the drywall seam was visible across the room and the screw heads would not fill even after two coats. I ended up buying the regular joint compound and it worked great

Won't bed joint tape

This stuff is junk. I have tried multiple times to bed joint tape with this product and it always cracks. I have never had that problem with standard joint compound

of what i could use, it worked well

broke open during shipment and spilled a bunch out.

Waste of money and double the work

Literally has to be one of the worst products on the market. No matter what you do or how long you wait before painting, all it does it bubble up and crack. I finally got tired of trying to fit it and all the places I've used it I'm working getting it all scraped off including the paint. I'm really annoyed by this....so much more work to do.

Do not buy this garbage

Shrinks like crazy, it took three days of filling and drying to fill a hole the size of a dime. It sands well, but once painted, it all cracked. Now I have to sand, mud, sand, and paint again.

Low-dust Mud

Nice pink color while wet so you are able to see where it was applied. turns while when dry. but it does take a but longer to dry and set. and you really have to watch that the application is dry when you start sanding.

Wasted over a week because of this junk

Used DAP wall joint compound to fill two joints. Things were going great but needed a skim coat and thought I'd give the "low dust" formula a try. After two coats of paint, bubbles are forming and paint peels completely off requiring me to remove the later of paint and go back to square one. Hate I wasted a week but wish I'd stuck with the slow setting high dust (or even another brand). Didn't read the reviews and wouldn't have tried it if I had.
