3M High Strength Spackling Compound, 32 oz., Small Hole Repair Primer Enhanced Spackling Compound, Quick & Easy Repair For Nicks & Nail Holes, No Shrinking, Cracking or Sagging (SHR-32-BB)

This product does exactly what it says. I had a chip in the plaster on a corner of the wall right next to a light switch. I was having to repair it every few weeks using another product from my local Home Depot, I think my hand kept hitting it. I waited a few weeks before submitting a review on this product and I can honestly say this stuff works. No more chips, no more having to repair it every few weeks. So glad I took a chance on it

It's very good. I was remodeling my house and needed something that was practical and dried quickly. There it is, it's very good.

Useful

So this will work fine to cover 1-2 small holes. However, I ordered it thinking it was regular spackle and it is not and I needed to fix an entire bathroom where the person I hired damaged the drywall taking the wallpaper off. Total mess. Needed to spackle and then sand and then paint, and then do it again to get the places I missed. The whole bathroom is a mess. This does not go on nearly as smoothly as regular spackle. It is more rubbery. For a few small patches, no big deal, but for doing a whole bathroom it is a total hassle because you have to put it on thinker to get good coverage and get it to be somewhat smooth. I ordered it because I didn't want to go to Lowes and buy any so I just got whatever I could order from amazon to arrive soon (because of covid-19 - didn't want to get out). So it is okay but only for very small holes/projects. Not for anything major.

I can’t believe the handling I filled an area as thin as two layers of paint on my first attempt like I was a pro or something it’s wonderful

a friend who is a contractor recommended I try to spackle my laundry room walls myself before he came by to do some other prep work for me. He told me to get a wide spackle tool which I did - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099ZMP64H and get some spackle. The 3M spackle looked like a good choice since my 11 wall holes were about an inch big. I did one pass yesterday and my wife asked me where the holes were. I did a little more today but probably could have let it be without the light touchup.This stuff changed my attitude about spackling wall holes. I never was able to get this kind of result using standard wall spackle. Thanks 3M.

1st EXPERIENCE:I recently bought one tub and found the texture to be great. It was light and fluffy, and spread very well. I was so concerned about it drying out that I (1) only accessed it by curling up one corner of the tub's lid. And (2) I'd shut it right away after each dip. And every now and then, (3) I inserted a mister nozzle and gave it a spritz of water. Further, (4) I kept the tub stored in a heavy duty zip-lock baggie. It took about a week to use it up on our project.2nd EXPERIENCE:Last night, I opened my newly ordered 2nd tub. To open, you have to snap off one lid corner so it can be removed. Then you also pull off the inner foil seal. Everything seemed fine. And then I my applicator hit a "wall." The product was 75% hardened against the lid, while the remainder was liquidy. I can't tell you the science behind how it both dried and liquified but it wasn't good. Just now, I opened the 2nd tub that came in this shipment and found the same problem. I say hardened, but I do not mean completely solidified in those parts. However, still unusable.DECISION:The lid is garbage in any case. The product will dry out extremely fast without misting and extra protection. And the inner foil seal didn't lock in moisture prior to opening. So if you do get a good tub, be prepared to protect it from moisture loss.I have requested replacement tubs. I'm hoping the next ones will be as good as the very 1st one. We'll see...Update 8/5/21:Just opened the 2 replacement tubs. This is ridiculous. Each was still sealed with their plastic lid tab, but there were no inner foil seals! So they’re about 75% hardened. Basically, even worse than before. I still hold to my comment on this being great when fresh. But there is no quality control here, whether lid seal or not, whether foil seal or not. They didn’t care to make this with any thing in mind but forcing the customer to consume as much as possible as fast as possible. Returning these - again. I don’t have time for this.

This is great for filling nail and screw holes prior to painting. Won’t shrink and sands smooth very quickly
