Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP DryDex Spackling. Spackling is by design, considerably thicker/heavier bodied, when compared to thinner joint compounds. Spackling compounds are designed/recommended for minor cosmetic repairs such as: dents/dings, holes, and cracks. Joint Compounds are designed/recommended for thin spreading applications, such as taping and bedding (taping over wallboard joints). While these two types of repair compounds have some overlapping applications, they are not fully interchangeable. For the application as described, the use of DAP Joint Compound would be recommended. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.
