        Thinning

        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Thank you for posting your inquiry. As general rule, "thinning" of the product is not recommended, however, If the product should thicken or is excessively dry (which typically indicates that the product is aged/beyond its 12 month shelf life), providing that the product is still pliable, a small volume of water may be added to the product to restore its originally intended texture/consistency. If that procedure is not effective, it typically indicates that the product is no longer viable/usable. 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.

            Can this be used over a dry wall patch as the joint compound?
            ByMay 13, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Thank you for posting your inquiry. PATCH-N-PAINT is specifically designed for repairing cracks, dents, dings, holes, and similar minor cosmetic defects. The texture/consistency and other performance characteristics of this product are not designed for large format spreading. As indicating on the product package label and supporting product literature: "DO NOT USE AS A SKIM COAT." For thin/large surface area format repairs we would recommend the use of product such as DAP Premium Lightweight Joint Compound. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

                ByNov 3, 2023

                Answer This Question

                Thank you for posting your inquiry on DAP Patch -N-Paint Lightweight Spackling Paste. Because hard setting repair products like Patch-N-Paint will not flex, accordingly, their use is not recommended in a crack/joint where movement may occur, as it may result in further cracking. Should you have additional questions or wish to discuss your intended project, please feel free to reach out to DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

                  I use this for crafting, and made a faux cake gift box. This works and mixes wonderfully with acrylic paint. I let it dry for 48hrs to completely set, and it came out great!

                    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=
