U S GYPSUM 380270072 U S Gypsum 380270 Quart Ready-To-Use Joint Compound, Off-White, 1.75 pt

I'm not afraid of small DIY projects even though I'm 74 years old. This one appeared to be simple enough, and this product aided in the completion of the task. It took a little longer to dry than I anticipated, but that could be because I used more than I needed for the first round of mesh patch covering. All was well after some sanding and a skim coat. The reason I took off one star is because the container was about 90% open when I received it when I received it. Yes, the container was encased in plastic, but as I removed it, I had to deal with " chunks" of dried compound falling from the outside and top of the container, as well as some wet sections. So, while the product arrived much faster than expected and did the job, the lid did not close securely, and I was left with a mess before I could begin my repair.

I think I'll be able to get a 4 on this one. For the same price as one of these tiny buckets, I could get a 5 gallon bucket of this stuff.

I was planning on purchasing this to fill in holes left by dry wall anchors that I had removed. Then I decided to look up the experts on Google to see which one was the best. Dry wall mud shrinks, so this product isn't ideal for filling in dry wall anchor holes, according to construction experts. Dry wall mud shrinks, so don't use it to fill the holes left after removing dry wall anchors, according to several youtube home improvement videos. They suggested that you use spackle. Because DAP was out of stock, I ordered Red Devil spackle on the internet. That product crumbled and didn't cure at all. It remained soft to the touch even after several days. br>br>I attempted to fill one hole with the product left over after removing a toggler dry wall anchor. That spackle didn't hold up. Instead of buying dap, I decided to take a chance and trust my gut and buy this product, which perfectly filled the gap. It didn't leak or crumble in any way. For me, it took 12 hours for this product to fully dry. Drying took a long time, according to the expert. This was a professional product. br>br>I apologize for listening to the "experts" on YouTube. They were mistaken about the product's ability to fill in drywall screw holes. For a 1/2-inch dry wall hole, there was no shrinkage. I highly recommend this product, which received an A rating while Red Devil Spackle received an F.

The structural integrity of this building is outstanding. br>br>If speed is critical for a repair project, drying time may be an issue, as a good 24 hours between coats is required. br>br>Finally, the product description and photo at the time of purchase and review posting specify one quart of compound, but the tub received is 4 ounces short. I ordered and received the full quart previously. Due to the low price, it is not material enough to dock a star, but be aware that you might get 12 less product than.

It takes a long time to dry. I'm giving it three stars. Take my advice with a grain of salt because I haven't done much drywall work. br>br>I've used another joint compound in the past, but it wasn't nearly as wet and sloppy as this. It also took a lot less time to dry than this stuff. Finally, in areas where I applied it a little thickly (but not excessively thickly, i. e. When it dries, like a dry riverbed (which is incorrect), this stuff cracks. br>br>The next time I need to repair drywall, I'm going to try a different brand. If anyone has a better brand to recommend, or if you simply want to tell me that this product is the best there is, please leave a comment!.

I'm not sure about a lot of products, but Sheetrock JC (joint compound) is always a safe bet. I've been buying this for a long time and always go with the green container for my needs. This latest project did not require mudding, but it did require filling in gaps along the top of drywall edges in a basement, ranging in size from 1/8'' to 3/4'' at the largest. 1/4'' and under fill easily with no tape and did not crack after 2 weeks (I let them set for this time to see if they would hold). Surprisingly, some of the areas I filled in the 1/2'' and 3/4'' range did not crack and a few had minor cracks, despite the fact that this product is not intended to be a gap filler and can crack over time. Before finishing for painting, I sanded and went over it with tape to make it look better.

I'm about to install Back Splash tile on my kitchen walls, but first I had to remove the old adhesive from the walls, after which I ordered this. I was surprised that the lid on this stuff didn't have some sort of safety feature to keep it from falling off. The cement, on the other hand, was of the proper consistency. It spreads easily, and you can work with it for a few minutes while it's still on the wall, so there's no need to rush, but keep in mind that it will dry in a short amount of time. There are no lumps in this stuff, as far as I can tell. It's a grey color when wet, but it dries to a white color and is very smooth when dry. I'll apply the tile to a surface that will hopefully ensure good adhesion once I've ensured my walls are level after some light sanding. To demonstrate how much I enjoy it, I have purchased it twice.

This isn't the color I was hoping for. Off white was my choice, and based on the ad, it appeared to be off white, almost ivory in color. It's a gray day, to be sure. It didn't go with my walls.
