Ratings & Reviews for DAP DryDex 1 Gallons Premixed Lightweight Drywall Joint Compound Bucket

Love this Stuff

Goes on pink, dries white is the way to go. Sands and paints really well. I use this at work and in my home.

I'm a first time user and had great results!

I wasn't even familiar with joint compound. I knew it as "mud, " and this was my first try at it. When I sanded my guest bathroom walls, I discovered several layers of old wallpaper. This was my first time using joint compound, and I think it worked great. I did use a sealer before and after because of the wallpaper and damaged drywall.

Tape won’t adhere

Won’t adhere to the wall with tape despite having product between the tape in the wall. Going to have to restart this project and get the actual joint compound I should’ve gotten to begin with. This might be good for little small holes but if you’re going to use joint tape, I would not recommend this product at all. Has been a waste of my time.

great stuff

ive used several containers of this product without an issue, proper surface prep, and being sure not to apply too thick. i have had 100% great results, and i use it in an industrial setting where it really counts that you can not see the difference in area once painted. i would recommend and continue using this product, last use and purchase was today.

No good

Too thick. Not mixed up well. Not easy to work with at all. Needed to add water to get through a small job and never will buy again. Shrunk too much.

Great for quick and fast repairs

Good compound for quick patches and the color changing helps identify when you're ready for next coats or to paint. Only wish it were a little thicker as when patching a larger hole it did run down and out slightly, leaving a bit of a glob of mud. Was able to easily scrape off excess and finish out patch with no issues.

Amazing stuff! Clear and easy to use. Great for doing it yourself.

Great product

Used the DryDex joint compound to repair my wall for painting. Easy to use. Dried quickly.

Easy to work with

I used this to for a small wall patch. The compound was easy to work with. It went on smooth and dried quickly. I liked that it went on pink and dried white. It made it really easy to know when it was ready to be sanded and painted.

DO NOT BUY ! ! !

I'm not a pro, but I have done a lot of drywall repair on rental property & flipping houses. This product is awful. Consistency is rubbery. It does not adhere well. Tape comes loose at the edges unless an excessively thick layer of joint compound is used. Virtually impossible to lay down a smooth finish layer. Thinning with water helps slightly, but the product id still terrible.
