what is a skim coat?
I bought a tub of DAP spackling compound to use to smooth out an area of my
wall in the kitchen where I pried off some tile. The instruction say "do not use for a skim coat". Why is that? Is it ok to use the stuff to level out my wall? Thanks, Jeff |

Sounds like exactly what you were planning on doing with the spackling. You may want to return the spackling compound and get a 1 gallon pail of sheetrock mud. KB |

what is a skim coat?
I bought my wife one for Christmas last year.
Them varnits are awfully small so it must have taken lot of 'em to make that coat... |
