Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The product received mixed reviews. Some found it effective and easy to use for small indoor repairs, praising its smooth application, quick drying, and ability to hold paint. However, many reported issues such as the compound being too thin and runny, sagging or dripping when applied, and taking a long time to fully dry. Some also experienced mold growth after storage. The consensus seems to be that the product may work well for some applications but has significant limitations, especially for larger or outdoor repairs.

Would Not RecommendThis product is more like caulk it sucks and does nothing on the package it claims.

I really like this product.
Would RecommendThe pre-mixed Presto Patch is a great product. (Note the powdered form is not rated for exterior use). I used this to patch rough masonry for an outdoor BBQ. It goes on real easy, is easy to smooth out, and sands well. I finished sealing it with Flex Seal and it made a smooth beautiful, waterproof, surface. Note that it really needs to dry overnight to be sandable -especially if put on with much thickness. It is semi-water resistant after curing. I highly endorse this product.

Works great!
I don't understand the negative reviews, I found this stuff to be very effective. I'm using it to patch masonry for an outdoor barbecue and it works great! Easy to apply, made for exterior grade, and sands well. It takes a few hours to dry, but that's okay. I'll seal it up with some Flex Seal spray and I'm sure it'll be fantastic!

horrible do not buy!
Would Not RecommendTried on clean dry ceiling would not stick. Thinned out with some water would kind of stick but did not fill in small holes patch fell to the floor. DAP is a great brand; this stuff is no good! Bought DAP DryDex lightweight joint compound worked perfectly.

Good sparkle if you have a large job; don’t store
Would RecommendSmooth spreading quality spackling compound that works well. However, once opened it must be used quickly or kept in a cool location. If kept in non-environmentally controlled storage for an extended period, it will lose its elasticity and mold will begin to form.

Nope
Would Not RecommendThis stuff sags and then cracks- terrible chalky flake-fest. I've been using patching compounds for years (used this maybe 20+ years ago) and just about anything is better- this finished, cracks, blisters, flakes, and bubbles just like plaster. Sorry, but it's not 1979 anymore. DAP platinum for heavy-duty, or crack patch for indoor are way better products

Mix well or it gets chalky and chunky
Would RecommendIt’s not very easy to mix. Make sure you have something strong enough to get to the bottom of the bucket.

Won't gill hole.
Says in the description on the web page no mixing needed but the instructions on the bucket says stir thoroughly. I was very watery when I opened it and needed lots of stirring. Even after stirring the product was thin and did not stay in hole I wanted to fill. Even tried thin layers and it still ran out of the hole.
