Durabond90 is a hard setting wallboard joint compound. The premixed joint compound is softer and sands easier.

The corners (the cracks) need to be taped with fiberglass or paper tape.

You husband should go to a big box store - and look at the books on installing drywall.

Assuming this is wallboard and not plaster.
