Best all purpose patching compound
I have been using many Custom products and have always been satisfied.Their grouts are top of the line. I really like this patching compound. I usually use to patch wood doors exterior steps etc. I think if you want slower cure time. Your supposed to add some vinegar. I sometimes add wood glue to make extra strong batch. (No vinegar) YouTube taught me that one.

    amazing
    This stuff is amazing, dry's like concrete, hard to sand, however for filling wholes in wood, drywall, concrete, it works great, does not crumble and you can put it on thick whiteout cracking

      It dries fast and very hard
      I've used Fix-it-All for 20 years. Getting the mix right is an art, aim for mash potato consistency. It definitely takes a few tries. I do maybe 1/3 warm water to 2/3 powder. Mix fast as possible because it can harden rapidly, especially when it's runny and wet. Shape it almost perfect asap. I use it to fill minor screw/nail holes, knot holes on plywood. It doesn't do so well on corners that gets a lot of impact. * Recently 2 batches turned out really chalky & weak even after 12hrs.

        I have been using fix it all for over 40 years in construction and 10 years since retiring. It dries fast and can be painted over outdoors. Great for plaster and wood repair. I always keep a box on hand!!!

        Been using for years. It's a powder, so I don't need to worry about it drying out between usages. Just add water to as much Fix-It-All as you need. Add more water to thin; more powder to thicken. Then patch away. Once set, you can sand and paint it (although you should get it close to what you want, especially for larger areas, since it dries hard and can take a while to sand).

        This material has a really strong adhesive and it’s good for patching up any type of surfaces and material. Used it on patching up a door and used it for patching up a stucco wall

        After my tooth filling fell out, I bought some Fix-It-All, mixed it with a little water and replaced the filling. In reality, I used it to patch some voids in drywall, prior to mudding and taping. Worked great!

              I remember this from the 70s, and it suits the need better than many other similar products on the Sam shelf.
