Dap 12345 drydex spackle; 1/2pt wall patch kt

Item arrived in time. Did the job perfectly. Would definitely recommend it.

It’s just an excellent product. It works exactly like I thought it was

For what it is, this kit will work great for small holes roughly 3/4 the size of the patch and smaller. The hole I had to patch up was just barely the same size as the patch. In order to have a smooth appearance, you have to apply thick amounts of the speckle. However, as the speckle dried cracks started to appear at the center, carefully applying light pressure to smooth them out periodically kept it from being undone but you can still see hairline cracks (see picture).My kit was opened upon arrival and the putty knife was missing, which wasn't a big deal as you can use any flat surface with the same flexibility. I would recommend painting right after sanding as leaving it as is could cause deterioration, especially in humid climates.

We recently moved and one of the biggest tasks for me personally was to fill up all the holes in the wall. This guy got me scared for a second when I saw the pink color but like other reviewers mentioned it turned white very shortly.Pros- Pretty easy to apply. Sometimes you may need to use something finer than the spatula they provide, I would use like a business card to apply it to smaller sized holes- Initially it is pink but it surely blends in shortly after (about 5-10 minutes)Cons- It sometimes sticks a little bit to itself and so when you apply it and move your hand away, it might come out with your hand. So you got to spread it with a little force to make sure it stays put out there- If your walls are not in the white/off-white color then you'll have to paint on top of this as this will turn into White but that is the original design. Just something to be aware of.

I’m moving in a month and need to patch some holes in my walls. I ordered this kit because it had everything I would need for the job, was familiar with this spackle, and thought that the color changing would be useful. Although it did get the job done, half of the time I needed to press the spackle onto the wall hard with my fingers to make it stick - the putty knife alone was not enough. I didn’t have any issues with the spackle being too dry like other reviewers. After the spackle dried and turned white, I was able to sand it and paint over it.
