Hot mud drywall repair
Fast set hot mud is a nice alternative to the standard joint compound, notably if you are planning to create minor drywall repairs and want to complete the drywall repair quickly.
Though the pros frequently use quick set hot mud for large drywall taping and mudding projects, I hesitate to suggest its use to weekend DIY warriors for similar size projects. It sets up quick and it’s difficult to sand. My advice to DIY owners that want to tackle giant drywall projects using this type of drywall mud; use the longer drying times, e.g. ninety minutes or more. Also, definitely get a drywall hoist if you embark on large drywall projects. It’s one tool that you basically can’t do without.
Hot mud comes in powder form and is sold in bags with drying times that range from 5 to 210 minutes.
