Dap 12328 DryDex Spackling Interior/Exterior, 1/2-Pint , White

DryDex Spackling is a fantastic product for anyone doing home repairs or DIY projects. What I love most is how easy it is to apply the smooth, creamy texture spreads effortlessly with a putty knife and fills cracks, holes, and dents evenly without clumping. One of the best features is the dry time indicator: it goes on pink and dries to white, which makes it super easy to know exactly when it’s ready to sand and paint. That saved me so much guesswork and frustration compared to other spackling products. Once dry, it sands down nicely and blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall for a clean, professional finish. Overall, DryDex Spackling works exactly as advertised, is simple to use, and delivers excellent results a must-have for quick fixes and bigger patching jobs alike. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for reliable spackling that makes wall repair a breeze.

I’ve used the Dap DryDex spackling for small wall repairs, and it works exactly as promised. The pink color when applied makes it easy to see where you’ve patched, and it dries white so you know when it’s ready to sand and paint. It spreads smoothly, fills holes and cracks well, and sands down without crumbling. Great for nail holes, dings, and small repairs on both interior and exterior surfaces. A half-pint tub goes a long way for little fixes around the house. Pros: Applies pink, dries white for clear drying indicator Smooth application and easy to sand Works for both interior and exterior projects Good size tub for small household repairs Cons: Tub can dry out if not sealed tightly Not ideal for large/deep patches (better for small fixes) Overall, this is a simple, effective spackling compound that makes patching walls quick and foolproof. Perfect for everyday touch-ups before painting.

I used this to cover nail holes which covers great and tried on two larger indention holes about the size of a nickle in diameter and another the size of a quarter, one deep and one not deep at all. It covered perfectly on one but not the other.. If you have small deep or large holes I would use patch tape for walls and then add this on top of it. The one the size of a nickle was a slight smoosh/hole the size of a nickle and looked pretty rough but it covered perfectly and you would never know there was previously a hole there. It was better then expected (miracle stuff) and looks perfect. The other one covered but by the time I smoothed it and sanded it wasn't working out perfectly. I finally got it to work somewhat but its not perfect but looks okay. I highly recommend this though. It's not dry but a very pasty material and very easy to smooth and when dry sand with a cheap sanding block. The pink cream dries to a white so that's how you know it's dry. Super easy.. I'm a young woman and if I can do it anyone can. It was quick and easy. I was nervous about it. Lol. If You receive a dry or hard product then it's old because mine was super pasty and smoothed out like butter and dried to a true white finish. Paint went on top nicely, no streaks or nothing. You can't even tell where I put it. I forgot where the holes were exactly. Good stuff. I just wish for the larger/deeper hole I would have used patch tape first and then used this on top to smooth out because the one large hole has a little wave (smooshy) because it was so deep but still looks a lot better then before. The other is immaculate. Really happy with it! Great price, easy to use and works.

Quality is great! This is my go to. Love that color changed when finished. Easy to use. Easy to clean! Light weight.

This stuff works great. I'm using it to fill in nail holes & a few other minor things. It goes on easily and with it being pink, (until it dries white), it makes it easier for me somehow. I was also happy it comes in the small tub size since i did not need a huge amount. My only complaint is it doesn't seem to close well so I worry about the longevity of it. It would be nice if it "snapped " close.

Does as it says! The first hole I patched was rather large (maybe 1 inch deep, 2 inches wide) from a ripped down curtain rod (thanks to my cats) and it went on pink and slowly dried to white - however it did crack as it dried. Though I think the crack happened because the size of the hole and it was my first time using a spackle like this. Going to go over it again with another coat. I patched a smaller couple of holes from a small ding and a nail hole and they covered up and dried perfectly so I’m sure it’s user error on the large patch!

It fills holes in drywall easily and easy to paint over

I've used this brand several times and I'm very pleased on the results. Easy to use and with great results.

I love how it goes on dark pink, then goes white as it dries. Works well and dries fast.

Great product. Dries quickly.

I used the DAP for some minor wall repairs, and it worked perfectly! It goes on smoothly, dries quickly, and the color change feature made it super easy to know when it was ready to work on. It is my go-to for quick home fixes!

Works really good

Good stuff.
