What Customers Are Saying
The product received mixed reviews. Some found it effective and easy to use for small indoor repairs, praising its smooth application, quick drying, and ability to hold paint. However, many reported issues such as the compound being too thin and runny, sagging or dripping when applied, and taking a long time to fully dry. Some also experienced mold growth after storage. The consensus seems to be that the product may work well for some applications but has significant limitations, especially for larger or outdoor repairs.

Would RecommendIt was a little bit more money than the usual patch, but well worth it. Went up fast, dried fast sanded great. Went up in one coat and filled deep holes.

Very bad experience the product was spoiled.
Would Not RecommendLowes is my preferred place to buy home products but this item was worthless. It might be because it was stocked for a very long time. I ended up returning it.

Will Not Work On Ceilings
Would Not RecommendI needed to repair large holes in plaster ceilings. The cracked plaster had to be removed leaving only the lath. This ready to use Presto Patch was too thin, meaning it would not stick to the lath and would simply drip off. It may work good on walls but why not just use Joint Compound, its cheaper. I returned it and bought Plaster of Paris which when mixed correctly sticks to the lath and several layers later it fixed my ceilings.

Exterior Patio Wood Beam Patch
Would RecommendI had one rough-sawn 6" x 12" x 18' wood beam on my patio cover devastated by carpenter bees and I used this product to repair the beam. For small gouges of less then 1" only one application was necessary. Any gap larger required multiple applications and 7 hours drying time in between applications. It worked perfectly and was easy to sand and shape for end design. Accepted exterior paint with no problem and looks awesome. I used the entire bucket to repair the beam and it saved me hundreds of d...

Old and moldy
Would Not RecommendPurchased the last bucket of this material. Opened it to find it was so old all material had settled into a brick like state and black mold had formed inside the container. Will definitely return this item ASAP.

Worst Ever
Would Not RecommendI'm usually a big fan of DAP products but this stuff is useless. I've been restoring my old victorian for a long time, and by far this is the worst product I've bought in all that time. I gave it 1 star as no stars isn't an option. It has the consistency of watered down joint compound and for the life of me I can figure how anyone thinks they can patch anything with this slop.

TERRIBLE PRODUCT
Would Not RecommendRunny, gooey does not fill large holes easily. Don't waste your money use regular spackle instead!!!
Wish I had read the reviews first
Would Not RecommendTerrible product- soupy, messy and impossible to work with. I will be returning it for a refund
Good Choice!
Would RecommendI had a good experience buying this product I have old siding that was cracked and pieces were missing. I could not afford to reside my house so I decided to paint it myself. I am a stay at home mom with little home repair experience and while my husband was working I patched/sanded every hole. It was very easy to use and looks good. I was able to fill holes from the size of a nail hole to the size of a pizza box! I followed the directions word for word, only apply in shade because it does dry q...
