3M High Strength Spackling Compound, 16 oz., Small Hole Repair Primer Enhanced Spackling Compound, Quick & Easy Repair For Nicks & Nail Holes, No Shrinking, Cracking or Sagging (SHR-16-BB)

Fixed some holes and got my security deposit back! Easy to use and recommend letting dry a day

This is great stuff. I was expecting it to not work as well as advertised. I used it to fill around the cut-in for an old work box (electrical wiring), where I damaged the drywall a bit, and was expecting to have to use more than one coat. Nope! It may have shrank a little bit, but not much, so I didn't have to go back. This dried or cured in about 30 minutes, and was ready to paint. I used an old credit card to do the fill, and the texture match was fine to the flat paint. This is white, and since the outlet was in a utility room and the walls were white, I didn't even have to paint. The consistency is kind of weird, like spackle, but it holds together better, sticks a little better, and sets up much nicer. Very easy to work with, I didn't have to sand it, and I'm not coordinated enough to do that with regular spackle. Strong enough to work on the corner around an electrical box, but of course not strong enough for screw or device holding. I think if you work in the trades, other than new construction, and have to fix your own drywall dings, you need this stuff. It really does save time. For a homeowner, you can do the multi-step thing w/ any patch material - apply, wait, apply more, wait, , sand, prime, wait, paint, but this stuff saves a lot of that work.

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

This is easy to work with and good for small projects where you do not need a ton of Spackle to begin with. I did find that it was a little on the dry side and tended to almost roll off of the surface when applying. Still it dried just fine and was easy to sand down being ready to paint on it.

This is a good spackling compound for patching small nail holes and minor wall crevices.

This spackle has the perfect consistency. It’s not too watery or rigid making it very easy to work with. It’s also easy to sand without cracking like other brands.

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.

Dries fast. East af to use. Doesn’t leave a bunch of dust in the air afterwards. Used to fix a bunch of things my NYC superintended pulled a ‘landlord special’ on. Because ocd. It’s great.
