It wouldn't come off so I pounded on it and it came off. Also an amazingly large section and layer of the inside door came off with it and it looks bad. Is spackle what I need to buy? Then I'll repaint the door. thank you

There's a reason they call it "rock hard". Not the easiest to sand, so don't apply too heavy a coat. A couple of thinner coats are easier to deal with. __________________ If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in English, thank a soldier. Support our troops.
