Waste if money
Horrible substitute for real drywall compound. I used it to fill some dents and imperfections on my drywall because I was too lazy to mix such a small amount of compound. The best thing about this product is the container. I emptied the DAP product, washed the container, and filled it with regular drywall compound for small jobs in the near future.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We are not clear as to the intent of your post, as you appear to be expressing a preference for a competitive product that has a completely different chemistry/formula and performance characteristics, when compared to DAP CRACKSHOT Spackling. DAP CRACKSHOT Spackling is ready to use acrylic-latex (water-based) formula, not a "dry-mix" (reactive formula). This product is designed, marketed, and labeled for use on minor cosmetic repairs, such as: nail/screw holes, cracks, etc. (not for large/deep repairs). While these two distinctly different products/chemistries do have applications that overlap, they are not fully interchangeable. If your preference is for a "dry-mix" (reactive formula), the proper comparative DAP chemistry/formula would be DAP Fast Patch 30 (Dry-Mix). Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

Cracks easily, and bubbles over tape.
This spacking paste failed miserably. Cracked the next day, and when using tape bubbles come through. Other mix powder with water spackling paste succeeded where this paste failed miserably.

Disappointed
This spackling is not "high performance" as the can states. It is only about as hard as drywall compound at more than double the cost. The problem I found was that it stays water soluble. Because of that any filling will swell when water base paint is applied. I ended up spot priming every nail hole with oil base primer after sanding. If you are trying to do a first class paint job try another product. I don't know how it can be rated "exterior use" if it remains permanently water soluble after drying.

We're sorry to hear about your experience with DAP® CrackSHOT® High Performance Spackling Paste. The only way one would experience the issues that you describe, would be if the product (or any other spackling/joint compound) was exposed to an outside source of moisture prior to being fully dried. The product is water resistant once fully dried, however, exterior applications require paint application for long term protection from the elements.

Works great for nail holes!
I had to fill (what felt like 1,000,000,000,000 holes) in the baseboard and shoe I put down, and this stuff did the trick. Very minimal shrinking and sanded easier than Famowood/Dap Plastic Wood. Leave the hole a little proud (sticking out above the wood) and sand it flush for a finish you won't see nail holes in. My dad is a painter of 25 years and says this stuff is ok (not the best he's come across) and it does a great job. It needs no primer and can be sanded and painted over within a couple of hours. Is it rock hard like a wood filler, NO. Does it do what you need it to do for trim work....Heck yeah it does!!!!

Amazing
I had a couple of holes in my wall that needed to be patched up before I painted my bathroom. This product is excellent just allow a full 8 hours dry time.
