Good when used as instructed
This product is good for patching isolated low areas. For my 300 sq ft living room, I used self leveling underlayment to raise 200 sq ft by up to 1/2 inch. Then I used this prodcut to patch isolated spots in the remaining 100 sq ft. This saved me the expense of having to raise the entire 300 sq ft.
I created a new batch for each 4 to 6 sq ft area, and was able to patch each area within the 10-15 minutes work time, After very rough initial smoothing with a putty knife, I went over the area with a 4 ft straight edge to level it out. Then I used a putty knife for the final smoothing and feather edging.
This product did not dry sufficiently in 15 minutes for the surface to be usable. Perhaps it is due to the 60 degree room temperature . It dried in about 4 hours. With a spot heater, I was able to reduce the drying time to 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the thickness of the patch.

Works well to cover cutback on concrete floorWe had some old cutback on our basement floor from asbestos tiles. We had the tiles professionally abated, but the cutback tested negative for asbestos so we left it and decided to cover over it with carpet tiles. The carpet tile adhesive needs a good surface, so I skim-coated with this, first coat with a u-notch trowel, and then filling in with a 16" finishing trowel. It's good stuff, easy to work and created a very good finish. You can sand the material once it dries to take off any rough or high spots. I used an orbital sander with 80 grit paper attached to a HEPA vacuum and it was basically dust-free. Overall I'm very happy with the results. I hadn't worked with concrete products before but this easy to work with. It does dry fast, though. I mixed the first box whole but it was firming up before I could spread it. After that I did half boxes and it worked great. Would be nice if they had a bigger size option, hate buying all these little boxes.

I was debating between buying this stuff and Henry 555 self-leveling underlayment to level out a dip roughly 1/8" deep, 3' x 6' wide. Went for this because it said there was no need for primer and could be 'feather-finished' with no minimum thickness. Since both products link to literally the same instruction sheet on the manufacturer's website, I figured they would be similar. Boy was I wrong.
After mixing exactly according to the instructions, I was a bit surprised how thick this stuff was. Way thicker than peanut butter - more like clay. The instructions specifically state not to add more water as it can weaken the material so I didn't, although I was a bit worried. I got about halfway through troweling a rough coat over my floor area before this stuff started to dry and set (

The floor was very solid so I just needed to fill some low areas that maxed out at around 3/16" in 6 feet. I used a 6 foot straight edge to identify low and high spots, marked them and then used Henry's 549 for the low spots. I used the straight edge to level out the product then a large trowel to smooth it out. This worked out very well and the 549 stuck fast to the particle board and did not swell it. It did not crack, even in the very thin spots. I had not done this kind of work previously so I researched a number of ways to do this fix. I found this product at Home Depot and I am very pleased with the results. It is more expensive than I liked but it worked. Know that the product starts to set up very quickly so mix up only as much as you can use in about 15 minutes. I settled on using 1/2 box at a time and that allowed me to level out an area about 10' X 10' and still have time to rinse off the bucket and tools before the product became too hard.

MIX IN SMALL BATCHES ONLYTHIS PRODUCT DRIES SUPER FAST SO ONLY MIX ABOUT A CUP OR TWO OF POWDER IN A 1-2 GALLON PAIL WITH A FLAT BOTTOM FOR EASE OF MIXING. YOU HAVE ONLY ABOUT 10-15 MIN. TO APPLY IT. USE A 2"+ PUTTY KNIFE TO MIX. ONLY ADD SMALL AMOUNTS OF WATER AT A TIME. WHEN ADDING WATER MIX FREQUENTLY UNTIL IT IS CONSISTENCY OF PANCAKE BATTER FOR SKIM COATING. THICKER FOR A DEEPER PATCH AND IT WILL DRY QUICKER. USING WIDE DRYWALL KNIVES MAKES SKIMMING A WIDE AREA EASIER. IF IN A HURRY PUT A FAN ON IT TO ACCELERATE DRYING. BE SURE TO NOT STOP WHEN APPLYING AS AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN. IT WILL NOT BE WORKABLE AND THE EXCESS WILL NEED TO BE TOSSED OUT. THE DEEPER THE PATCH THE MORE LIKELY A 2ND COAT WILL BE NEEDED. SAND IT IN BETWEEN COATS FOR BEST FINISH. WHEN DONE IMMEDIATELY RINSE YOUR KNIVES AND BUCKET CLEAN IN WATER.

Awesome product ! Used it on my wood stove hearth....Awesome product ! Used it on my wood stove hearth. Mixed it 2-1 in small batches. stiff peanut butter came to mind. Went on so smooth ! Was really fun to work with. I found it easy to give a lite sand when it was half dried. (2 hrs for me) Sands like drywall, not cement. So again easy

Sets up a lot more quickly than the pre-mixed alternatives. You can also mix it just a bit thinner for the final skim coat to really get it flat and smooth.
