Good product.

Would Recommend

Putty is really sticky at first as most are but when a little whiteing (sheet rock dust) is gradually mixed in, it has a good consistency and fills holes great!

Avoid this product, avoid heartache

Would Not Recommend

We had our family room renovated recently. Our contractor used this stuff to fill the nail holes in our crown trim and ship lath over the fireplace. A week after our contractor was done I proceeded to start painting. After two coats of primer and two coats of flat white latex paint, I noticed grey/yellow stains coming through the paint where the nail holes were about 4 sizes larger than the nail holes.

Filling nail holes

Would Recommend

This did such a great job filling the nail holes in the wall. It looks like a virgin wall and the paint went on so smoothly.

Hard to work with

Would Not Recommend

DAP Painters Putty 53

Would Recommend

The product is a small hole/crack filler. Used as it designed, it works fine. For larger holes and cracks there are other products that will work much better. Waiting time to paint is short. A prime coat is recommended prior to final painting. Clean up is easy.

This product sucks

Would Not Recommend

This is the worst product to buy EVER! Even if they gave it to me I wouldn't take it. Seriously ANYONE that would consider looking at it or picking it up let alone buying this ''painter's putty'' is wasting there time. I bought some bazooka Joe bubble gum that works better than that!! Dont believe me try it yourself

Really old putty

Would Not Recommend

When we open the container the putty was so dried we didn’t think we could use it. We dug down into the container and were able to get some that was workable, but we threw out almost half of the container.
