Patching plaster IS NOT sandable and is for plaster repairs.

Some are, some aren't. Durabond sands fairly readily IME, but most others
won't.

Doug,

Unless you are buying a Durobond product I have not, I have to disagree with
your statement.

The stuff I'm talking about comes in a carboard package the size and shape of
a half-gallon milk container. Haven't seen it at any of the home centers
recently, though, and I'm not sure it's still made.

If it does not say Sandable on the package, it isn't.

True enough.

Durobond is an excellent quick setting product for filling large areas to a
sub surface level. But for the average DYI person it is not suitable for
the final top coat which will need some sanding to look proper.

No argument there either.
