Customer Reviews for USG Sheetrock Brand 3.5 gal. Dust Control Ready-Mixed Joint Compound

Let’s start off with the photo being deceptive, why is Home Depot deliberately trying to make it look like a 5 gallon when it’s a 3.5? ??‍?? 2) Just occurred to me joint compound is like bag of chips, both comes with air and less overall product. But what ever is left over after the Gov gets its cut is a good product, and would purchase again but shame on HD and manufacturer.

A good product, but they should make it dry with less time

Doing a Reno in a home while living in it can be be very stressful on the family from the inconvenience of having to use 1 bath and to the the different dust. So when a few years back when I first saw the USG Sheetrock Brand Dust Control Ready-Mixed Joint Compound I gave it a shot. I was was so surprised during the sanding step the particles some how stay together and straight to the floor. So when it came time to do the other bath it was a No Brain-er! I like that the joint compound has the same creamy texture as the regular joint compound and spreads on as smooth as butter cream. I truly believe this product kept our family together.

Easy to apply, can be thinned for easier application of skim coats to minimize sanding. 24 hr dry time does not allow for multiple coats/day.

This joint compound was excellent. There was little dust. It was easy to use, and spread very well. I will definately use it again!

Works well to skim sand painted ceilings that were scraped down. I thinned it just a little bit and it laid up pretty well with a wide knife so that little sanding was needed. When you sand the dust drops quick, though it likes to clog up a sanding pole. The dust still gets into everything, but not as much as standard drywall mud. It doesn't dry as hard as standard drywall mud, but on a ceiling it's not an issue. I've used the lightweight on other ceilings, and the dust control mud works the best for easy application and finishing.

The best compound for interior and easy to sand it

We like this brand of joint compound, we have been using it for more than 5 years, it is lightweight we have better dust control, sure makes cleanup a lot easier.

Smooth & easy to work with......dries hard, sands east, much less dust!

Have used other products but this one goes on easier, dries great with no bubbling and a lot less dust when sanding.

THIS WAS A DREAM TO WORK WITH, THE CONSISTENCY WAS SPOT ON

Great product Very easy to work with Spreads easily I will never use regular mudd again This is a little more expensive but trust me it’s worth it

Much easier to work with and sand than heavier products.

It really works! Not as much dust. It falls straight to the ground instead of a cloud of dust.
