Ratings & Reviews for DAP Painters Putty White Interior/Exterior Waterproof , Spackling 1 Pint(s)

Filling nail holes

This did such a great job filling the nail holes in the wall. It looks like a virgin wall and the paint went on so smoothly.

Hard to work with

I could not smooth it into the cracks of the wood. It would crumble into large chunks.

This is the worst filler I have ever bought. This stuff never dries.

DAP Painters Putty 53

The product is a small hole/crack filler. Used as it designed, it works fine. For larger holes and cracks there are other products that will work much better. Waiting time to paint is short. A prime coat is recommended prior to final painting. Clean up is easy.

This product sucks

This is the worst product to buy EVER! Even if they gave it to me I wouldn't take it. Seriously ANYONE that would consider looking at it or picking it up let alone buying this ''painter's putty'' is wasting there time. I bought some bazooka Joe bubble gum that works better than that!! Dont believe me try it yourself

Really old putty

When we open the container the putty was so dried we didn’t think we could use it. We dug down into the container and were able to get some that was workable, but we threw out almost half of the container.

Does the Job

Needed this to fill holes in the wall and it did a great job. I am always moving pictures so that means a lot of holes...This does what it is supposed to do!

Easy putty for painting

Easy to apply putty for patching holes or filling nail holes from pictures etc. Pliable and easy to use!

Not what I expected

I wanted something to fill nail holes that hardened

DAP patching and spackling compound

much easier to use that others we have tried. dried easily and doesn't run out of area that you are filling

Easy Putty

I've seen my contractors use this product for multifamily apartments. Very satisfied with ease of installation and barely any cleanup.

Perfect for its intended use

I used this product at the recommendation of a painter with 40+ years experience. Read the directions! I found it to be perfect for its intended application - filling small nail holes and miter gaps in newly installed baseboard and door casing before painting. I do wish they sold this in a smaller container, as a little bit goes a long way. But, If you are trying to repair drywall, patch holes bigger than a nailhead, etc., use something else.

Is good!

It’sa good painters putty. I’ve never used any other brands, so this is what I know. It works as advertised.
