Filling Holes 101. What spackle or filler should you use?

What happens here

Next, the presenter examines Crawford's Vinyl Spackling Paste, categorizing it as a heavy-bodied product. He explains that it is very dense and has superior bonding capabilities and durability compared to lightweight spackling. While it dries slower and has a stronger odor, its robust nature makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and more substantial repairs on wood trim, such as door jambs. This product is preferred when durability is critical, as it is less likely to dent or chip.

Goal: Understand the characteristics and suitable applications of heavy-bodied spackling.
