Plaster Magic® Homeowners Pack

Is exactly as described, easy to use, dries quickly, and good value for the money.

This stuff works incredibly well!

UPDATE 2: DON'T BUY this specific kit! If you need three tubes of adhesive, buy three of the "starter pack" kits which will only be only $5 more and you will get 3x more clamps and conditioner!UPDATE: Here are some tips to make the most of the tubes of adhesive, using these techniques will let you get a lot more repairs done vs. material used/wasted. It takes some practice to get the hang of it, I blew through two tubes of adhesive really fast before I got the process dialed in.1) Cut the tip to make the smallest hole possible. The glue is very runny and a large opening is NOT needed and will waste material.2) Hold the caulk gun with two hands, one on the trigger and one holding the tube TIGHT against the wall. Otherwise you can easily over-dispense by pushing the caulk tube against the wall (causing it to press back against the plunger).3) After filling a hole, before you pull the caulk tube away, release any tension on the plunger to avoid blow-back and waste of material.This kit works nicely as advertised, I would recommend it.I use this kit on a ceiling and have some notes for others:1) Put down plastic dropcloths and prepare to make a huge mess. The spray bottle will rain down the sticky conditioner all over you and the floor.2) The sprayer is hard to use on the ceiling since the little intake straw is meant to use in a normal vertical orientation. If I was going to use this again I would try to rig up some kind of tube jammed into the spray nozzle so I could hold the bottle upright.3) The adhesive in the caulk tubes is very runny, like yogurt, you will get it all over the place just like the conditioner. It's easy to dispense WAY too much adhesive since it's so runny, take it slow.4) You will likely need way more of all of the supplies than you think. I only fixed about three small areas of a 12x12 foot room with this kit and have to do it over the course of a couple days to re-use the anchors in different spots. Too bad it's so expensive for such a small quantity.

I used one tube on a ceiling that was falling down and it worked wonders. However, I wish I had used some wood strips to snug the plaster up to the lath before cutting open the tube, as I was unable to get the sag out with just the Big Wally anchors. I guess I was over eager to get the job done. It works great, but it is crazy expensive for what you get. I wish I had save the Plaster Magic for a more public area and used buttons for this project, but I will recommend it!

Plastic Magic is awesome stuff. I used for first time in 2017, and the work turned out very nice. If I didn’t have photos to show, no one would believe me. The difference after repairs to the old plaster and being able to renovate and recondition the loose plaster with ease is incredible. No one can find today where the loose plaster was, the plaster is now all well bonded to the lath and the walls I repaired are very solid. I just had to use it again in the second apartment of my duplex. It’s awesome and easy to use. The photos tell it all.

When repairing plaster cracks, we found some plaster had separated from the lathe. This worked great, even on sloping walls of 100 year old plaster.

Does not work on bulging plaster as described. This product is non refundable so be prepared to be screwed out of money when it doesn’t work.

Wall is solid where it was applied but I have a drip less caulking gun and yet the product seemed rigged to come out as much and as quickly as possible that the claim of what size area it covers might be differ for someone not familiar with it. You have to watch and stop the wasted glue from coming out unaided. The amount in the tubes could have more in them as well. Sure went through that first one quicker than expected. But if you have little experience in just putting in new drywall and don’t mind the price, this should be good for what is needed.
