Great for canvas art
I used this for the canvas art I've seen around and it worked well! I know it's cheaper in store, but the convenience got me. Theres still about 3/4 left after doing 2 canvases, so I would get a smaller one so there's not a lot of waste because I'm not sure how good it will stay if I hold on to it. Or, grab some friends and make like 8 canvases! I didn't look into the cracking or how to prevent it, but mine did crack a bit, especially in the thicker spots

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works great. Goes on smooth; sands nicely
    Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2020

    This is a great product. We use it for drywall patching. It goes on smooth and sands nicely. It does take a little longer than spackling to dry. But it’s worth it because it works well and is so much less expensive. Some reviewers complained that you can get this at your local big box home improvement store for $5.78 so the Amazon price isn’t worth it. Come on—seriously? I paid $7.24 at Amazon including free shipping (for this fairly heavy product) right to my door. To me, that’s a very good value.

    This works well for me: When the tub is less than full, it helps to wipe the inside edges after use, to keep those small cling-on chunks from drying and then falling into the tub. If you let those dried chunks fall into the tub and mix with the good stuff, they will mess up the next layer of joint compound that you apply to the wall and keep it from going on smoothly.

    Another tip that works well for me when the tub is less than full is to press a piece of plastic wrap down inside the tub, flat against the top surface of the joint compound. Leave it there and put the cover back on for storage. That keeps the air off of it and keeps it from drying out.

    I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you.
