What Customers Are Saying

The product received mixed reviews. Some found it easy to apply, quick-drying, and effective for small repairs, while others reported issues with the material being too dry and crumbly, difficult to spread and smooth, and not drying as quickly as claimed. Many felt the product struggled to adhere to the wall and would often fall off or crumble. The overall consensus suggests this spackling may work for minor, quick fixes, but is not suitable for larger or more complex drywall repair jobs.

Nice for Bigger Holes

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this out to repair a hole in the wall that was too big for regular spackle and would have had to have been patched. This spackle did a nice job in filling the hole. It is much thicker than your typical spackle and difficult to work with a spackle knife so I applied it by hand easily. It dries fairly hard so I left a little indent so I can add regular skim coat spackle which is easier to sand to make a nice finish. Since I patched a larg...

Great finish - easy to use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had several projects around the house that needed spackling and in the past I have struggled to find one that is easy to apply and sands down to a great smooth finish. This so far seems to answer all my needs. It is quick and easy to apply, dries quickly, which is great when filling deep holes that need multiple layers (no waiting up to 24 hrs between layers) and then sands down to nice smooth finish. Neutral color is also good for easy paint...

holes gone

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this fast drying spackling. When they say fast drying, it really is fast drying so you do need to act quick and don't get distracted with other things while using this. Once dry, it sanded out very smooth and I was able to paint over it. If you are buying a new home and need to fix some holes in the walls, well here is your product!

Really great for larger holes

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had several holes through-out my house associated with a previously installed security system installed by the previous owner that I removed. Some were sensors that were higher up and and others were light switch level holes from number pads that were installed. I had put off remodeling my laundry room due to some of these holes, but thanks to DAP Fast Dry Premium Spackling, I am now ready to move forward and remodel.

DAP Fast Dry Premium Spackling Really Works!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had some damage to the sheet rock on my staircase leading to my basement when I tried to move some exercise equipment upstairs. Some of the damage was quite deep, with gouges approximately half an inch thick. I received the DAP Fast Dry Premium Spackling for my Bzz Kit, and I gave it a try on my basement staircase. It applied evenly with a plastic putty knife. Some spackling I've used in the past came out really "pasty" and clumped when apply...

Fast Drying!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product is surprisingly very light. Consistency very chalky like and density very light. Opening the package, the content was wasnt puddy like, but more grainy and in chunks. Applying it over the damaged area is simple and cane be applied in multiple coats/layerd. The drying and sanding part is very simple because there's no dust, No residue to clean besides a quick wipe after sanding. Overall this is a good product, but I wish the consistency ...

Went on smooth

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The spackling went on smooth and was easy to level it out. Didn't have a chance to try painting it yet since I'm waiting until spring to paint my rooms.

A Spackle that Works

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] DAP sent me a kit to try their Fast Dry Premium Spackling. I had a variety of projects to use it on - everything from dingged walls to cracks in drywall joints (the house has settled over the years). I used it and it really is a fast dry compound. I found it easy to apply - it was a tad on the dry side compared to other spackle I have used in the past. It goes on with minimal effort and sticks well. The putty knife was also a snap to clean up a...

Works great!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was astounded at how fast drying it was. I was able to slap it on and within less then a half hour I was able to buffer down and paint. It made my wall projects go so much faster.

Spectacular Spackling

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The reason for that title is that in some cases you do not have a lot of time to complete a job before you have to move on to do other things. For example in my case, we were trying clean up some scuffs, dents, holes in walls to paint. This product dries with a quickness, easy to use and strong. Like it says you apply, sand it and paint it, it is that quick. Great product, would definitely recommend it.

Fast dry time with NO cracks

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We decided to put an outlet in a closet. So we had to cut a piece of drywall out to add the outlet. After doing so we used this to put the drywall back. We will clean this up but for as thick as my husband put it on I cannot believe that it did not crack. After we clean this up I don't know if we will need another coat or not but the product went on very easy, was smooth to work with and has dried quite nicely. I have used several DAP products ...

Works Great & Perfect For A Novice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] • How does it compare to other products I've tried? I've used Spackle in the past for holes in my walls. This works very well and it's easy to use. • What are some bzz-worthy benefits of owning the DAP Fast Dry Premium Spackling? When you accidentally make a hole in your wall or when you are moving into a new place, this works great at filling that hole that you have quickly. The putty that you use to apply it, the DAP is tacky and it's easy to...

Dap Fast Dry Premium Spackling

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to receive my sample of Dap Fast Dry Premium Spackling. I should have laid a mat underneath as it did get my floor quite messy. Besides the mess it was easy to apply, and left a nice smooth finish. Drying within 15mins, so quick you could paint and finish the product in 30 minutes. I would recommend this project if you're in a hurry to patch up that unsightly hole.

Works as advertised

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have children. Four of them to be exact. Our house shows it with gaping holes and scratches in the drywall that I've been staring at for years. Along comes this product. "Ideal for Large Drywall Repairs" you don't say... Works like a charm, dry's fast, sands out smooth, paints up nice. I couldn't ask for a better product for my money.

Easy To Use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter just turned 18 and wanted to redo her room. So, all the posters, tapestries, taped paper, etc. had to come down. Left so many holes and tears in the walls. This spackle went on smooth and dried super fast. About 15 minutes and it was ready to paint. We waited about an hour. It is the same color as drywall. Very little sanding was needed after it dried and you couldn't see it through the paint once that was dry. Now that her room is ...
