                      DAP DryDex worked great. It really got the job done. I'm planning to get a larger container just to keep around the house for backup repairs. Super easy to use & finished a hole that was in my wall & it looks like it never existed ??.

                      Great product to have around the house. We had to move an improperly installed tv and patch the holes in a very visible area. Very easy to use. The holes are now completely unnoticeable.

                      Works Well, Just Needs Careful Blending
                      Good product for small drywall repairs. It filled the hole well and dried solid. Required a little extra sanding and blending to match the texture, but overall it did the job and looks good after painting.
                      by
                        This is the easiest wall repair kit. I was a little nervous about using this, my dad always did all my handy work, fixing and painting. I was able to use this over and over again and will recommend to anyone. My paint job still in progress, but I'm using this on the walls where my boys had made dents and scratches.
