Ratings & Reviews for DAP Painter's Putty '53' White Interior Waterproof , Spackling 16 Pint(s)

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.

Good Stuff. Really strong

DAP 1-Pint White Patching and Spackling Compound

It's Painter's putty. It fills nail holes and other little bits like it's supposed to do!

So easy to use

This stuff went on smooth, dried quickly and sanded easily. Very nice. Would definitely recommend

Works Every Time

I am 60 plus years old. I have used DAP Painters Putty on all of my painting projects over the years. Once upon a time when my boys were much younger I used DAP to repair windows that had been shot with BB guns. According to the boys the neighborhood poltergeist was responsible. I let them off the hook for originality but did require them to assist in making the repairs. DAP works each time every time.

Easy to use- dries fast

This spackling compound is very light and fluffy. It applies nicely and formally to whatever imperfection or hole you are trying to disguise. I like the texture of it a lot. But - it is not intended for deep gouged or anything with a large diameter. I would recommend it.

Good product

Product works as intended. It can get a little yellowish tint to it after some time which isn’t a big deal as it’s meant to be painted over. Also, this product will dry out quickly if the top is not properly sealed back on. This is user error so nothing against the product. I wish Lowe’s sold it in a smaller tub though!

Painter's putty exactlty what I was looking for

it filled cracks in some siding that are very old and smoothed out to make it look like new, easy to sand once dry. I am very Happy with the result

Dry and in moldable

Thought I got a bad can, opened another and was just as dry .

A little hard to use

Not much experience fixing wood damage, it may be a technique issue but I had a hard time getting it to not stick to the putty knife on a second pass.
