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

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.

Great Joint Compound

DAP Lightweight Drywall Joint Compound is a great product. It is easy to use and tells you when it's dry for sanding or applying another coat. Goes on pink and dries to white. This is definitely the best out there.

Quite impressed

Just bought my 2nd gallon to drywall the laundry room. Ready to paint after 2 applications instead of 3. Primer doesn't just sink in flat, it looks like the rest of the wall.

it's fine for finishing layer only

it's fine for finishing layer but otherwise don't it will leak out of any normal vertical wall joint or crack in the ceiling.. and it shrinks too much when drying

Love it

Use this all the time. So easy to use and works great.
