A:  If you’re using latex flat paint you don’t need to prime. If you’re using a gloss finish you may want to prime because the texture of the patch in compound may not exactly match the surface of the wall. While I wouldn’t ingest the stuff, it’s not “toxic.” If you use it Power the instructions the patches will not be visible after you paint. 

A:  I used this to fill in smaller holes, once it dries (it will go from pink to white) you should lightly sand and paint. I wouldn't advise to just leave it. The color most likely will not match your walls and over time would run the risk of cracking and chipping. This product is not meant for a one and done type application. Good luck with your project.

A:  Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP Drydex Wall Repair Patch Kit. While priming is not typically required (from a product compatibility perspective), priming will increase the paint product's adhesion to the repaired area. Of note, many paint manufacturers recommend or require the use of primers prior to the application of topcoat paint finishes. Please be sure to consult your paint manufacturer for guidance prior to proceeding.
