Customer Reviews for Henry 547 25 lbs. Universal Patch and Skimcoat

Sets quickly--in fact, it would be nice if it took a little longer to do so. It would be wise to mix less than you think you need for your first batch and see how it goes. It is good for filling deep areas and then finishing off with Feather Finish, which is easier to get smooth. 547 is significantly less expensive than 549, and is hard as rock once it cures. I found I needed a beater-style mixing paddle, as the spiral type that I use to mix paint left lumps. While I could mix 549 by hand, I really needed a drill-mounted paddle for 547.

Amazing smooth and quick dry !!

Works great for patching

Good stuff dries as good as Mapei or ardex good for skimming

Used on my sub floor of my bathroom. I didn’t need the whole bag so it was hard to figure out the consistency needed fit a quarter of it. Dried fast, think I did it a little too thick, but in the end it did the trick.

Used it to feather a transition and out laminate flooring over. Did the job well!

The 25 lb bag of Henry UniPro 747 was exactly what I needed to infill a large area of uneven floor I was going to apply a laminate flooring over it. Cure time is quick and it’s easy to trowel, feathered nicely. Only issue I found that could be changed is the working time of only 15 minutes. This is not the product you want to use in a large difficult area unless you have help mixing patches and cleaning tools. Lesson learned: plan accordingly. The directions say only mix what you can apply in 15 minutes, believe it.

Very difficult to use. Started to harden before I even finished mixing it, even though I was working with about one pound.

It is not easy to mix it, even small amount. I had to use drill to properly mix it. Working time is close to 5 minutes if mix by instruction. Adding more water extend time but makes it difficult to apply.

I have followed exact same instructions they provide. But still took around 36 hours to complete dry. I am doing floor level in my bedroom upstairs and I have plywood subfloor. I applied twice and same 36 hours. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL.

This stuff set up so fast, I couldn't do anything with it. This was a total waste of money.

It dries almost instantly, there’s no time to play with it on the floor

Depending on the size of work I would not follow the directions it makes it too difficult to work with I would water it down more and that allows you to work with the material better in my opinion takes longer to dry but that's the way it is.

Very easy to use. It set up fast, drying time was what the product said time would be, resulting with a smooth surface.
