Plus 3 With Dust Control

Is it just me or does the new Plus 3 mud with dust control, not have so much dust control. I used it for the first time last week and it seemed to have just as much dust.

Well thats what I told the homeowner, he wanted to pick up the mud and I said that would be ok. I never use the stuff. He said it was on rebate for three dollors off a bucket. He could have just given me the three dollors.

I tried that for the first and last time about a year ago. Not only does it create just as much dust, it shrinks much worse!

I never tried it ( i love my vacuum sander). What i did notice is it's more expensive and they give you less then the regular. From the sounds of the other posts this won't be out for long.

I also use a vacuum sander so I don't see the need for getting less material for more money.
