What Customers Are Saying

The plaster sets up quickly, typically within 6-10 minutes, making it well-suited for patching holes, cracks, and other small repairs. It can be used to create a smooth, seamless finish when repairing plaster or drywall, and is easy to sand down. The plaster is also popular for arts and crafts applications, such as making molds, statues, and distressed paint finishes. However, the fast setting time means it's important to work in small batches to avoid waste, and mixing the right consistency is crucial.

Plaster made easy

Would Recommend

I'm not a plaster pro, but this plaster was easy to use. It sets up really fast and can be smoothed with a sponge.

Because of poor packaging by lowes, I was unable to use it. I purchased an outdoor broom (on line) with the plaster and the container of plaster was placed in the same package. When I turned the box over to get the items out, (because of the long handle of the broom) The container was busted in 2 places and dented and the lid was off, hence the plaster poured all over my floor. I called lowe's to see how to get a credit (I live 45 minutes from a lowes) their answer was to send it back via mail....

Good product, Horrible delivery/packaging.

Would Recommend

Only thing that saved me getting any use was the ziplock that thankfully held. Box was damaged, bucket came open lost a lot of plaster in bag. Delivery was late and got pushed back 3 times. Ordered July 6th, received the mess July 14th. Left at curb next to mailbox like it was trash. horrible delivery.

Easy

Would Recommend

Easy to use, didn’t create a mess. I purchased this to use in a wet box for my pottery, worked as expected.

Smooth consistency and covers well

Would Recommend

This is a good plaster that mixes up easily and spreads well. The final product is smooth and dries well. The set time makes it good for doing multiple repairs at the same time in a large area but I recommend not mixing too much at one time to avoid waste.

Plaster Fixer

Would Recommend

Works so well repairing plaster, had cracks at the bottom of my stair ceiling where it transitions to my living room ceiling. This stuff molded right up, I was able to sand it smooth and paint it like there wasn’t even an issue.

It's exactly what it said, and set up very nicely. Didn't like the lid very much, hard to open.

Great Stuff

Would Recommend

I was told by some guys who painted my house to use this instead of the other premixed stuff you can buy. They were right, it's super easy and dries quickly. It also doesn't go bad like the premixed stuff and cheaper. I've been doing a lot of home remodeling and bought the bigger container. Once you get the mixture right, it's super easy.
