Painters Patching Plaster

So great for patching lath and plaster! No need to tear it all out and sheetrock.I'm getting ready to repair several ceilings with ice jam damages. Ugh!!!

Felt like I put cement on the wall. Confident it will hold up.

Very sandy. Watched many videos and decided to just end up using all purpose mud and that worked way better without all sanding and made my walls way smoother than this. Would be ok if you want texture, because it’s horrible to try to even sand down.

Really magic

If you have plaster in your home, this is a must have. Absolutely fantastic product that works well and easily. This is so much easier than drywall. The company has YouTube videos that show how to use and do it well. I was afraid it wasn't going to be as easy as in the videos, but it was as easy or easier than I had expected. Great product. Will buy again.

The product claims anyone can do it. I guess not. The first part of the repair process went as it should have. The plaster part? First off, there is no suggested way to mix this plaster, either with the package or on the videos, so you play it by ear. I have never mixed plaster before, but should have been able to do it. Taking a small amount at first and mixing with water created the "peanut butter" consistency desired, and it seemed to go on fine. Subsequent batches of not much bigger size started hardening way too quickly, so by the time I got down to the bottom half, the plaster was hardening way before it could be used. So, a lot was wasted, and I don't know if the plaster layer will even adhere to the lath when dried. I think regular plaster mix from Home Depot would do just as well. Also, there is no ingredients label on the bucket, which, if you have workers using this stuff, is a problem. Or, if someone happens to swallow some of it. (It might happen.) OSHA requires material safety data sheets for all chemicals used on a job site are available. These people are in violation of Federal Law by packaging the way they do. I would not recommend.

This product is expensive and there is no information regarding ingredients. I've spent months learning how to plaster in my own home which is really time-consuming. I've had to travel or order online products which are hard to find. In the end, though, It's much cheaper than buying this product. Having said that, this guy was smart to create a product for the masses. It's easy, it works and you can save all that time researching how to do traditional plastering. I am not going to stick up drywall, but that's me. I resent the shipping cost and the lack of transparency re: the mix formula. Therefore, I will not be using it again.

Per the description it made it sound as if it plaster magic and works on all repairs. However the sand and pebbles in it is really large. Didn’t work for the 1/4 gab I needed to fix. I also ended up buying extra plaster washers for no reason because they didn’t specify that it come in the box.
