This product does seem to do a good job for fixing cracks but just keep in mind that it is not like other drywall patch products. Basically, it's elastomeric caulking in a tub instead of a cartridge, so it has all the good and bad properties as such. Keep in mind that it cannot be sanded, but the claim that it doesn't shine-up matte paint once applied over it is correct. Does the job but be prepared to work with it's caulking-like nature.

If your stucco walls develop stress cracks, this is the best product I've used to seal and flex with stress cracks. Sets up in about two hours and blends in.

Supper easy to use. Get your self a putty knife a sponge and a bucket of water. Work in about 4 foot section, using the putty knife spread it into the cracks and smooth over with the wet sponge. It drys fast so start small. This is not designed for large cracks 1/8 inch and bigger.

If you have a crack that is caused by a "breathing" or unstable wall, then this solution will not work in terms of making your crack disappear. It might be useful for foundations/drywall that is stable. Furthermore, the fact that this is not sand-able means that the finished product will more than likely look terrible unless you are trying to use it as caulk to cover tiny cracks. Product also shrinks. I think this product resembles silicone sealant more than it does spackle or joint compound.It might be good for outdoor applications or are a sealant solution though.I tried using this on a crack on a breathing wall, and then putting joint compound along with tape, and the crack line appeared over what I tried. Yes, it does seal the crack, but you can still see it.

I know some folks have given this a bad review because they say it can't be sanded. Even the vendor states that this is not sandable. I read a review where one person said it sanded easily. Likely a fake review as this stuff does not sand.I use this to patch holes in areas that I don't need a super clean look such as in the garage. Recently the lower part of a panel in my garage that goes into my crawl space got damaged. It was about a six inch wide, one inch high hole. That is a fairly large hole. This is pretty thick and I first tried to fill the hole with a Bondo spreader with just this product and after a couple minutes it would start to sag, exposing the hole again. I quickly grabbed some fiberglass mesh drywall tape put it over the hole with the ElastoPatch still sagging, then used my Bondo spreader again moving the ElastoPatch back over the hole now covered with the fiberglass mesh tape and it held firmly. After letting it completely dry it looks great. As long as you spread this stuff and leave it still it does dry to a nice clean smooth surface. Some have claimed that it shrinks, but I have never had that problem. Just be sure you use it over a clean surface as it won't stick to dirty, oily surfaces.

The first container I received had not been packed properly, so it was all over the box and I opened it. I sent it back got a full refund and ordered it again. The next container came in perfect condition. This is a very good product. It applies easily to wall surfaces and it’s great for fixing holes and nicks and plaster walls. I highly recommend it.

I’ve used this product with a drywall trowel to smooth out chipped doors or recently used it to smooth over a back door that was warping a bit at the bottom. When painted the rubbery feel goes away. Super outdoor caulk as it’s flexible and will expand and contract. I guess I use it most as an outdoor spackling company and filler. Fill screw holes where you need an all weather fill. Great stuff for maintaining your home. There’s probably endless ways to use this product. Spreads easy smooths well with a trowel. Dries fairly quickly. Paintable.

good size for average job. container is tight and mixed perfectly. used to spread over joints that are cracking under regular spackle but i did not find that this product was any different. cracks still reappear. product is suppose to be flexible but it hardens more than regular spackle. not sure the point of this. probably wouldn't buy again. applied several times in different locations with the same unacceptable results.
