Found this stuff which is what I would call drywall mud in the paint section of Sodimac Plaza Oeste. Sets ups in 10-15min and is very easy to work with unlike the pasta muro which is too runny and just runs down the wall when you try to fill in a crack or hole

You must be using a different pasta muro. The stuff I get down here is just like North American drywall mud and is not at all runny.... unless you fail to mix it properly, of course. Not for filling cracks but yes for seam taping and wall/ceiling texturing. The pasta relleno stuff you show is for filling cracks and is more elastic than the pasta muro.

This is what I tried to use the first time but it has the consistency of pancake batter. The relleno has the consistency of peanut butter and is a lot easier to manipulate and it stays where you put it.
