What Customers Are Saying

The product received mixed reviews. Some found it effective and easy to use for small indoor repairs, praising its smooth application, quick drying, and ability to hold paint. However, many reported issues such as the compound being too thin and runny, sagging or dripping when applied, and taking a long time to fully dry. Some also experienced mold growth after storage. The consensus seems to be that the product may work well for some applications but has significant limitations, especially for larger or outdoor repairs.

Terrible storage

Would Not Recommend

I bought this product less than a month ago to patch a wall in the bathroom where we removed tile. When I opened the bucket, there was an inch of liquid that smelled terrible. I tried to mix it with no success. From what I’m reading this is unusable due to the separation and awful smell.

Unuseable

Would Not Recommend

I purchased it a while back and lost the receipt. it took a while to patch a plaster wall that was damaged around a door. I thought it would be good to adhere to the other patch. To make a top coat. It was separated, hard at the bottom and smelled awful. I tried to mix it. It wouldn't mix. Tried some on the wall it was to runny to stick.

Bought it to fill a few small cracks in a cement basement floor. Easy to work with and dried fast, did the job we bought it for.

Smell is terrible and separated when opened

Would Not Recommend

This product is terrible. Stay far away from it. When I first opened it smelled so bad I almost could not stay in the room. Once I got use to the smell, I had to stir the mixture as it was completely separated. Once mixed, when I try to apply it to the float, it just sticks to the trowel and not the ground. After leaving for 3 days to dry, just walking on it, it broke up and came out. Worthless, I am going to take all the pieces, put back in container and return.

Very goopy and smells terrible

Would Not Recommend

I think I must have picked up a tub of this that was sitting on the Lowe's floor for a long, long time. I opened it up and it smelled like burnt rotten eggs, if you can imagine that smell. It was awful. I put my mask on and applied one layer, but I could not handle the smell! I took off the layer I had done and sprayed the drywall with a bleachy mixture to get rid of it. The research I did online mentioned that the compound mixture may have spoiled and gotten moldy and rotten. I don't know what ...
