No Shrink

Would Recommend

I really enjoyed that this product doesn't shrink like other brands do. It was easy to apply.

Bad stuff, get another brand

Would Not Recommend

Does cure quickly, and when being applied it doesn't stay put and must be done several times before sanding and painting.

May be toxic, very time consuming to use

Would Not Recommend

It takes forever to dry completely (weeks), requires use of mineral spirits to clean up, and you are advised not to sand the area because of potentially toxic dust. I have a feeling no contractors use this, and maybe that's why it was the only option left on the shelves.
