What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise this putty for effectively filling nail holes and small cracks in trim, noting it smooths easily with a finger and allows seamless paint application. Many highlight quick cleanup and reliable performance for detail work. However, a substantial portion report serious drying inconsistencies—some say it never hardens and remains sticky for weeks, while others receive containers that are rock-hard and unusable. Several note it dries out quickly if the lid isn't sealed tightly. Additional concerns include incompatibility with latex paint and inability to sand once set. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find it worthwhile for small touch-ups when used as intended.

Would RecommendThis 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
Would Not RecommendI could not smooth it into the cracks of the wood. It would crumble into large chunks.

DAP Painters Putty 53
Would RecommendThe 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
Would Not RecommendThis 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
Would Not RecommendWhen 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.
