1.75 pt. All-Purpose Pre-Mixed Joint Compound

Not the correct product. This Joint Compound is for Gypsum Wallboard. You need Tile Grout... Sanded or unsanded depending on the width of the joint.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes you can use Sheetrock All Purpose Joint Compound to repair small sections of wallboard where the paper has torn. Peel and remove loose face paper. Apply a skim coat of joint compound with a joint finishing knife to damaged area and feather to get a smooth finish. Let dry and apply second coat if necessary. Sand and prime when dry.

Steve Thank you for your inquiry. Sheetrock All Purpose Joint compound is ideal for taping joints and cracks with paper tape. It is easier to spread and dries gradually, providing a hard finish. Hope this helps.

I'm just an amateur drywaller (remodeling my bathroom) - but here's what I did. I mixed the joint compound with a little water to thin it a tad for the 2nd and 3rd coats. I didn't mix it in the bucket though. I filled my mud pan a little more than half way with joint compound (mud), added about a little more than a half coffee mug of water, then mixed using a paint stick. It took a few minutes to mix and it made it much easier to apply and get a smooth coat. Had I known how much better it goes on, I may have done that on my first coat as well. Even if you're not adding water, you're still going to mix it in the mud pan as you apply it so I wouldn't worry about mixing it in the bucket. A professional drywaller may say otherwise (and I would defer to their professional opinion), but I didn't and my walls look great. I just finished painting and they are as smooth as can be.

My suggestion would be to use a wallboard primer first. Even though today’s paints have primers already in them, when priming wallboard you want to give it a little “bite” bring it is a new surface. Again, my opinion.

Square the hole, then cut a square piece of drywall to fit loosely. Attach the drywall with drywall clips, fill gaps with mud, cover with paper tape, then cover tape with mud. Sand and paint.
