Ratings & Reviews for DAP Presto Patch White Waterproof , Patching compound 1 Gallon(s)

PestoPatch Ready -mixed

Takes forever to dry if applied thick. Not at all like the Prestopatch dry mix - which sets up in minutes.

Not for Wall Repair

I bought Presto Patch for wall repair, but now would not recommend for vertical application because it is too thin and will sag and drip. I used Platinum Patch this summer on another project and it would work better because it is much thicker, but was not on the shelf. I will continue to using Presto Patch on this project as a "base & scratch coat" and use topping compound to finish the surface. I don't know where I'd ever use this product again. Sheetrock mud shrinks, but stays in place, as d...

Doesn't sand!

Bought this for ceiling work. It is awful. Goes on hard and after it dries it won't sand! Sets your timline way back. So maddening!

good patch

Good product, worked well for patching a couple holes on drywall.

Plaster was rotten and hard

Opened the container and found the plaster was foul smelling and half of it had hardened. Had to return it. Bought a different brand.

Not white

Description says white but it dries off white almost yellow. Not happy

Have used this product several times for miscellaneous filler and floor repairs. The thicker you put it on, the longer the drying time and it may need more than one coat, but it is a pretty solid product when finished.

Inexpensive yet effective

Like another couple reviewers, I can't understand that bad reviews. Fortunately, I saw the good ones and went with them. I have a large, tall wall in my garage with ugly exterior stucco that I wanted to smooth out. I was using MH Ready Patch (which works fine) but is 3 times more expensive than Dap Presto Patch. I switched to the Presto Patch and saved hundreds on this job. The only difference I can tell between the two is that MH Ready Patch is just a tiny bit thicker. But not worth spending 3 ...

Presto patch

Material was good for the joints between the 2 pieces of wood.

White patching compound

Is a great product if used inside. Not so great outside, even though it is labeled for exterior use. If use outside, must paint as soon as dry. If not painted immediately and a rain shower occurs, you will have to redo it, even if patch was dry it will wash off. Needs to be made more rain proof.

Works very well

We were looking for Dash Patch to cover up the holes left when we took up the carpet and pulled out the tackles strips. This product worked perfect. Easy to use and gave a smooth finish. Easier than joint compound on a wall. Happy to have it when we do the other rooms.

presto patch hard to use

had to add water as it was too thick and then took days to dry and then had to sand grrr use the cement based floor level in the flooring department days later mixed thin and was dry in a day and no sanding
