Drywall Mud Pan 12 Inch
The Marshalltown MP812H is a 12 inch plastic mud pan built for holding joint compound during drywall taping and finishing. Its tapered design helps keep mud centred on the blade for cleaner application. Professional drywallers and DIY renovators will find the lightweight plastic easy to clean between coats.
Compatibility Check
Verify that your taping knives and broad knives fit within the 4 1/2 inch interior width before ordering. Confirm the 3 1/4 inch depth provides enough mud capacity for the joint sizes you typically run. Ensure your cleaning routine accommodates plastic rather than stainless steel if you prefer metal pans.
Upgrade Considerations
This pan replaces smaller metal or plastic trays that require more frequent refilling on long seams. The jump is worth it when you want a single pan that spans standard joint lengths without flexing. It is not for finishers who need a wider pan for large patch work or who prefer the weight and feel of stainless steel.

Questions about this item
Does the 12 inch mud pan ship with a mixing paddle or trowel, or must those be purchased separately?
The pan is sold as a single plastic tray; mixing paddles, trowels and other drywall tools are not included and must be bought separately.
The listing shows only the MP812H 12 inch size — are there other capacities I should consider for larger jobs?
This model is offered in the 12 inch length only; if you need a wider or deeper pan you would have to choose a different Marshalltown part number.
What does the 12 inch overall length mean for the amount of joint compound I can hold at once?
The tray measures 12 inches long by 4 1/2 inches wide by 3 1/4 inches deep, giving a practical capacity for a standard batch of mud without excessive weight.
