You may remember my adventures in towel-bar hanging. While buying yet another can of spackle, I got to wondering about all the different kinds and the advantages/disadvantages/applications for each.
For example, there is "light" spackle, which is moist and literally feels light (the tub weighs little). There is "vinyl" spackle. There is dry spackle that needs water added. There is plaster. There is water putty. And more.
Can someone enlighten this DIY newbie about which ones are for what kinds of repairs? Is there one type that is preferred over all? Is it just a matter of preference/price?
Thanks in advance, Jo Ann
