Q:Has this stuff changed radically in the past few years or did I get a bad batch? It used to be the consistency of whipped cream and was too light to sag. Now it?s runny and bulging out from its own weight. Literally took hours to dry.

Best spackle ever!!
I love using Dap spackle for my fake bake projects! I has a true white color & a very nice creamy consistency. It takes paint color very well, so you can tint it to pretty much any color you want. It drys to the touch within an hr but underlayers need 24 hrs or more to completely dry. This is my ultimate favorite spackle!

Complete garbage
Doesn't dry hard remains soft after two day. Can take a scraper an it comes off the wall in ribbons. No clue about these other reviews that are good but this is garbage. Good for absolutely nothing, cannot be sanded.

Thank you for posting your feedback on DAP PATCH-N-PAINT Lightweight Spackling. This product is designed and marketed for minor cosmetic/surface repairs, such as dents/dings in wallboard (not large/deep repairs). The most common cause for slow dry time is related to environmental conditions (lower temperatures, higher humidity) and application of the product in excess of its recommended fill depth. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: "One application is usually sufficient for small repairs. For repairs deeper than 1/8”, apply two or more layers allowing spackling to dry between applications." Because you did not provide any details regarding your experience, such as the application surface, temperature, humidly, depth of fill, or application technique, it is difficult to provide you with a more detailed reply or specific product usage guidance in this format. Should wish to provide these details, so that we can provide you with more specific product usage guidance or to recommend a more appropriate product, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

Thank you for posting your feedback on DAP PATCH-N-PAINT Lightweight Spackling. With respect to your commentary indicting: “it bleed thur my paint leaving brown circle”, would appear to signal that your wood contains sap/and or tannin (wood resin) or that there may be a metallic fastener in your wood (in proximity to the repaired area), as there is nothing contained within the DAP PATCH-N-PAINT formula that could produce a “brown” color as you indicate. Because you did not provide enough details about your attempted use of the PATCH-N-PAINT or your attempted finishing process, it is difficult to provide you with any specific guidance in this format. Should you wish to provide this information, so we can address your concern and to provide you with some possible repair options, please feel free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

Disclaimer: I don't have a LOT of experience patching drywall. But it spread like buttah and has done the job. My technique could be better, of course.
Gonna store THIS one in the house, not the garage, though -- but I guess more than a decade is too much to expect of any spackle/caulk container eh? =lol=

Not 8 oz
This is not worth buying. It is under 4 oz with the container.

Too light weight
I needed a large amount of spackle to repair some holes in the ceiling and redo all the taping. I could not find a large bucket this size in "REAL" spackle so I settled on this product hoping it would work as well as "REAL spackle. It didn't. t is too thin and really only good for covering screw dimples and little nicks. Skim coats is all that it is good for. I now have to get "REAL spackle to fix the POOR hole filling (I taped first).

Junk
This has to to be some of the cheapest and most irritating spackle ive ever used. This spackle takes an extremely long time to dry and once it does its not even solid. This spackle resembles more of a flex paste rather than spackle. Its not a good product to use if you plan to sand it and paint over it. It simply is not good. Its rubber.

Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP PATCH-N-PAINT Lightweight Spackling. PATCH-N-PAINT is specifically formulated as a low moisture/low density spackling compound for faster dry time/paint time. PATCH-N-PAINT does not dry with the same hardness as traditional heavyweight spackling compounds. As this is a water-based (acrylic-latex) formula, the sole drying mechanism is the evaporation of water. Dry time can be significantly impacted by cool or humid application conditions, moisture in the application surfaces or by thick (deep) applications of the patch. The most common cause for slow dry time/development of full hardness, results from application in excess of the recommended fill depth or application outside of recommended guidance. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: "One application is usually sufficient for small repairs. For repairs deeper than 1/8”, apply two or more layers allowing spackling to dry between applications." and "PATCH-N-PAINT may be painted within minutes with a latex paint. Please follow paint manufacturer’s instructions for application. If sanding is desired, or if an oil-based paint is to be used, allow to dry thoroughly, approximately 24 hours, longer dry time may be required in cooler and/or more humid condition or where deep repairs have been made." Full dry/full hardness will only occur once all of the water contained in the formula has evaporated. Because you did not provide any details regarding your experience, such as the application surface, width/depth of fill, temperature, humidly or application technique, it is difficult to provide you with a more details reply in this format. DAP offers several traditional spackling compounds that may be more in line with your needs/preferences. At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we suggest an alternate product that aligns with your preferences.
