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

Exactly what expected. Easy to sand and low dust.

Beware of "Low Dust" claims

Unfortunately Primer and paint does not adhere properly to 'low dust' mud. There are numerous problems with bubbles forming, or paint pulling off the area.

Works perfect

Did the job, easy to use, inexpensive, easy to find

Too thin and long dry time

This product is runny, drips everywhere and slides down the wall before it dries. Left the patches overnight and the product was still very wet after 19 hours. Not practical. Use the regular white stuff.

Perfect for repairs and other small jobs.

Feathers out very nicely for smaller repairs with hardly any sanding.Yet when I tried doing regular tapping with it, I found it hard to work with.

Drywall joint compound

Live that it changes from pink to white when dry. The price is nice too

Runs

It`s ok, but if you put it on thicker than a sheet of paper it will run. Regular stuff for me from now on.

DAP Premium Lightweight Joint Compound

This product works extremely well! We put it on and dried just as stated. Recommend to anyone!

Product not acceptable

This joint compound was way too runny and would just drip when you tried to apply it. I would under no circumstances recommend this to anyone. It took three times as long to do the job as it should have taken due to the consistency of the product. I would have rated it lower if it were possible.

Good stuff

Goes on easy and pink. Dries white. Not much more to say about it.

Easy to spread

Not so great. Takes a very long time to dry. Doesn't sand well at all. Low dust

I like pink

It's convenient to have the color change from pink to white so that you know is dry, especially when you are patching larger areas.

Dry Tine not correct!

I had a ceiling leak due to a damaged roof vent boot. I had to repair 2’ x 3’ area, depth if 1/2” max I am writing this review so others are aware dry time is much much more when u have a large repair area. Even if done in layers. I do however like that no mess from any sanding i did. I in the past have been covered in sanding dust so that is a definate plus. Just be prepared it will take time

it''s what it is

the bucket contained what I expected. it performed as I expected

Shrinks too much!

I wasted money with this. This shrinks more than other joint compounds like ProForm. Not only does it shrink more but if you use joint tape, it will not adhere well and will start peeling away or bubbling. With proform I was done the first time. Just sand and you are good to go for painting. With this junk I have to do multiple coats of the compound and now have to redo my tape as well.
