Fixing walls

[Mark Forest]

We use drywall joint compound paste to fix cracks and holes in drywall and it is taking a lot of time. We have to apply it, let it dry a day, and then fill in more if the tape can be seen, do more sanding, etc. Do any of you know a faster way?

You can get this at HD. It will set up faster if you use warm water and put a fan on it. You could get three coats on and have it painted before lunch. Good luck.
