Amazing product - no painting needed for small repairs
Wish I had found this product 10 years ago. I absolutely love this DAP DryDex spackling compound. The dry time indicator is genius - goes on pink so you can see exactly where you've applied it, then dries completely white when ready for the next step. Best part is it blends in perfectly with my existing white walls. For smaller nail holes and minor dings, I didn't even need to paint over it once dry. The white finish matches so well that repairs are virtually invisible. Application is smooth and easy, no clumping or difficulty spreading. Dries relatively quickly and the color change makes it foolproof to know when it's ready. Saves tons of time not having to prime and paint every little wall repair. This has become my go-to for quick wall fixes around the house. Perfect for renters or anyone doing minor touch-ups without wanting to break out paint supplies.

Worked well
Very easy to use and great for filling holes on dry wall. Prior to use, squeeze the tube to mix it. It is not hard to squeeze as some reviews have mentioned. It is easy to spread with a scraper. It is easy to sand. Worked well.

Easy to Use and Effective DIY Spackling
This has been a reliable and effective solution for patching up various surfaces around my home. One of the standout features is the color-changing formula, which turns from pink to white when dry. This takes the guesswork out of knowing when it's ready to be sanded or painted, making the process much more straightforward. The spackling applies smoothly and adheres well to both interior and exterior surfaces. I've used it to repair small holes and cracks, and it has provided a solid and smooth finish every time. The product dries relatively quickly, allowing for timely completion of projects. One minor downside is that it can shrink slightly as it dries, so applying a bit more initially or doing a second pass may be necessary for larger gaps. However, this is a small inconvenience compared to the overall ease of use and effectiveness. I think this is a fantastic product for anyone needing a reliable solution for minor repairs. Its user-friendly features and excellent performance make it highly recommended for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals.

Best compromise for filling nail holes.
This review is only for using this as nail hole filler. I have tried every method of filling nail holes and spackle was never at the top of the list due to the amount shrinkage. This stuff is better due to being heavier, but the biggest difference from my normal tub is the squeeze tube makes it handier. I'm usually towing a nail punch, hammer, 1 inch blade and whatever filler along the room. Filling 300 nail holes with difficult to work wood filler is not pleasant. This is much easier to work. While the shrinkage is less and I have yet to see any cracking, it still doesn't quite sand 100% flat like wood filler. It's likely because it's just easier to take off than wood so even a sanding sponge with light pressure digs in slightly. I think I'm happy with the trade-off, due to ease of application and consistency. It's barely noticeable when it does happen, and it dries quicker and more consistently than regular wood filler.

Easy to use
I used this to fill some holes in my wall. Applies pink and dries white so it’s easy to tell where I’ve applied it. The mixture isn’t very thick. I just use an old credit card to smooth over the holes and it dries quickly. Pretty big bottle so can be used for a long time if it doesn’t dry out.

Great product
I have bought this product before. I like it because it goes on pink and dries white. My Landlaord couldn't even tell where I hung pictures.

Very easy to use, with it being pink it’s easy to see where you’ve applied it, easy to sand, and paint. Great for those little holes that need to be covered.

I have this wall at work that looked like it had been a backdrop for a shootout. With the pink tint, it really helped ensure I got all the places. Dries perfectly white and ready to go!

This was my first time buying this product in a tube vs in a tub. This was super useful in patching small holes in my wall. Worked as advertised and didn’t take too long to dry.
