We're sorry to see your low star review. Because you did not provide any details regarding your experience or the reason that you were not satisfied with the product, it is difficult to provide you with a proper reply or any product usage guidance. Of note, for surface repairs on their fiber cement siding products, James Hardie recommends the use of dry mix portland cement-based patching compounds. Unfortunately, DAP does not offer such a product .At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we can obtain some additional information from you regarding your experience.

Goes on smoothly_ dries quickly & hard_ sands out nicely_ seems to bond well_ primes over great. A good [and easier than Bondo] alternative for patching exterior wood, and more.

I love this product and would have given 5 stars, however, my container was only half full. And it is relatively expensive.

Used this exterior patch to fill in some medium-sized cracks in my wood door trim at the back of my house. Just like regular drywall patch, it was easy to apply and smooth out. Let it dry for a few days and then primed and painted over it. Hasn't been long enough to determine how weather resistant it is but, being painted over, I think it will last a long time.

This is a great product. We had areas on the aluminum covering our porch posts that had corroded and this product fixed that so that the whole aluminum sleeve didn't need to be replaced. It dries very hard.

Wow! No mixing! It comes in a perfect consistency for patching up outdoor splits / separations in my old wood siding. I am so glad Home Depot suggested the spatula before I paid for my online purchase. Curbside pickup was easy, too!

used it to repair some unfinished pine on a picnic table. knot holes and other imperfections prior to painting. The product worked better for me than the "plastic wood " products that I have tried to use in the past. Far easier to use with much better results.

Good product
It sure does what it says that it does. The 1 reason why I gave it a 4 star is because maaaan, that stuff is hard to sand down. If your just doing a small hole or little patch work fine. I had a customer ask me to use it in 2 exterior ceilings where he used hardy board. So I filled in all seams and screw holes. Took me 5 days to putty it all and sand it all completely down.

    Easily workable as a patch, but definitely not white.
    I assumed that this product would dry white as the packaging indicates, so I used it to fill several thousand nail holes in white Azek trim that I was not planning on painting. After the product dried, it remained a medium gray that is going to guarantee I need to paint this trimwork... This product made a great patch, but the color is so far off that it is causing me hours and hours of extra work!!

    Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP Platinum Patch. DAP Platinum Patch is labeled as a "White", not "Bright White" or "Brilliant White" as with other DAP products. Platinum Patch is not "color changing" (the wet to dry state colors do not change significantly), nor is Platinum Patch specifically color matched to any color standard/specification. While the product does not require the application of paint or other coating for performance, paint coatings are commonly applied for cosmetic reasons. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477. DAP

      I used this product to repair an exterior metal door. It worked great filling in the dents and sanded smoothly to allow me to paint the door and not even be able to tell I had repaired it.
