Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Plus 3 is a versatile all-purpose drying-type compound that suits tape, block and finish coats on interior drywall. Keep the pail covered between coats and clean tools with water, since it is water-based. For patch repairs needing fast set times, a setting-type compound is a better choice.
Avoid breathing dust when sanding dried compound; wear eye protection and dust mask and work in a ventilated area.
Order USG Sheetrock Plus 3 Joint Compound in the 3.5 gallon carton for your next drywall finishing job.
