Fast-Drying Drywall Compound Video
VIDEO SUMMARY
If your project requires a rush drywall job, there is a powered fast drying drywall compound. Pour a little of the powder into a container. Mix with a little water, not too much or you will create soup. Stir and you are ready to apply. But, work quick!
The compound might have a number on it, such as 45. That indicates the drying time after mixing. A lot faster than regular drywall mud. These also work with plaster, unlike the regular drywall compound.
When you have to patch that drywall in a hurry, these fast-drying drywall compound work great. It will save you time.

It should be mentioned that it does not actually dry in that amount of time
but sets up and is hard enough for another coat before it is actually dry.
It does tend to dry faster too but not in the amount of time shown on the
bag. I recommend allowing the mud to completely dry before painting.

Be careful not to mix too much of this stuff up in one go because it sets
solid with no warning and you will find yourself throwing a lot of it away
otherwise.
