Question from audrey
Does anyone know of a non toxic or low odor spackle? If so, where can it be purchased? Thank you.
Debra’s Answer
There are two kinds of spackle: powdered and paste.
If the paste has too much of any odor, try the powdered, which you mix with water.
Either is made with gypsum powder (which is not toxic), and glue, which may or may not be toxic.
You could always get some gypsum powder and mix it with some nontoxic glue, such as Elmer’s woodworking glue. I’ve never tried this, but it is logical.
Over the years, we’ve used a lot of spackle as we’ve remodeled our houses. My husband usually buys the paste and we’ve never considered it to be toxic.
