Ratings & Reviews for DAP Presto Patch White Interior/Exterior Waterproof , Patching compound 1 Gallon(s)

No mixing

This wall patch compound is premixed and ready to use. I used it to patch some holes in drywall after removing some tile and also to finish out a hamper closet in the bathroom. It goes on smooth with no lumps and dries with little to no shrinkage. I mixed some with latex paint to add texture to the closet, too. Worked great!

Slow drying

Applied it 2 weeks ago still not hard enough to sand.

light patching

Easy to use. Good for light filling. Takes a long time to dry.

Presto Patch

I've used it to level small dips in both wood and concrete floors. Works great.

This stuff is awesome

I was shocked to see all the negative reviews. I'm an occasional remodeler who has used this stuff dozens of times over the years and it is fantastic. If you need to repair a subfloor this stuff works great. You can use it for small repairs or for a skim coat over large areas. It dries reasonably fast, sands well, and is pretty rugged when fully dry. NOTHING out there can do what this stuff does for the price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED *Both thumbs up*

worked great

Used this to fill in seams on plywood and screw holes befor layed viynl flooring. Worked great. Easy to spread. Did dry very fast.

Small amounts go far :)

This product was really great, still filling all the holes in the wall from the previous owners. So far this has been great! Small amounts go a long way! So the smaller tub would have been plenty for me :)

Like filling a hole with soft serve ice cream

This stuff is like a bag of cement to which you've added twice as much water as you should or nearly melted ice cream. When you're using it, it falls out of the space you have put it in to. Once you do get it in by wildly overfilling, you can then cut it with a pocket knife. It has no strength at all. Absolute garbage.

Presto Patch - What a mess!

Product was watery on top and so hard on bottom of bucket that my son had to stir with a paint stirrer that attaches to his drill. There was harder product in the bottom that would not stir even then.

Product Terrible!!

This was to watery to apply to a wall and it ran everywhere!!! I was very disappointed it it considering it is made by DAP I never had a problem with their products ever!!

Great for basement walls

Exactly what is needed for repairing nail holes, chips or cracks in cinder block walls. The only drawback to this product is hard it is to get it stirred up to the right consistency when you first use it, especially if you are unfortunate enough to have to mix by had like I had to. Most of the thicker/harder components of this product will have settled to the bottom into a dense mass. Use a think stick as a paint stirrer won't last 5 seconds. Take your time and get it mixed completely. Once mixe...

On previous projects I had used DAP Flexible Floor Patch and Leveler which is an excellent product for use on wood. Lowes has stopped carrying this good product in the 128 oz. size. A clerk suggested that I try this "Presto Patch" and I did. 3 days later, it still hadn't dried all the way. A week later I could still dig my heel into it. It might work well for small patches but then you wouldn't need a 128 oz. size. Lowes needs to resume stocking the 128 oz. size of DAP Flexible Floor Patch and L...

Useless

This is too runny to do anything with. I'm returning it.

Great stuff but doesn't go that far

I purchased this since they were out of the other stuff I was using. Well it didn't go that far so I was better off getting the 80lb bags of dry cement that were a lot cheaper and go a lot farther. I'm only doing patch areas on mom's patio and sidewalks, so it's not like I'm doing huge jobs or areas. So I would recommend this if you only have a couple of small areas to patch otherwise get the bags.

Not all it's cracked up to be..

Purchase based on label description as "Indoor Outdoor Polymer Putty" and our sales asst's assurance that it would withstand the elements. We used it (as per label "sticks to wood") to fill nail head holes from the air gun before final paint. We decided to let it dry an extra day even though according to instructions and appearance it should have been cured within 24 hours at temp. Two days in we had a summer shower and the putty not only came up, but disintegrated and ran down I between the boa...

Very good patching compound

This compound works well. I was looking for a product to surface plywood. Most products of this type are not recommended for surfacing, but this one performs as a surfacing agent. It is very easy to work with, spreads smooth (Long, slightly firm strokes are best.) and is very easy to sand and form. It stands up to wet or dry surfacing. Very good value.

Powerful Patch

You'll love your patchwork with this product. It dries quickly, and will fill deep holes in your drywall. It sands smoothly, but creates an immense amount of dust. Be sure to have your wife go on vacation before you think about sanding.
