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

Great stuff but doesn't go that far

I purchased this since they were out of the other stuff I was using. Well it didn't go that far so I was better off getting the 80lb bags of dry cement that were a lot cheaper and go a lot farther. I'm only doing patch areas on mom's patio and sidewalks, so it's not like I'm doing huge jobs or areas. So I would recommend this if you only have a couple of small areas to patch otherwise get the bags.

Not all it's cracked up to be..

Purchase based on label description as "Indoor Outdoor Polymer Putty" and our sales asst's assurance that it would withstand the elements. We used it (as per label "sticks to wood") to fill nail head holes from the air gun before final paint. We decided to let it dry an extra day even though according to instructions and appearance it should have been cured within 24 hours at temp. Two days in we had a summer shower and the putty not only came up, but disintegrated and ran down I between the boa...

Very good patching compound

This compound works well. I was looking for a product to surface plywood. Most products of this type are not recommended for surfacing, but this one performs as a surfacing agent. It is very easy to work with, spreads smooth (Long, slightly firm strokes are best.) and is very easy to sand and form. It stands up to wet or dry surfacing. Very good value.

Powerful Patch

You'll love your patchwork with this product. It dries quickly, and will fill deep holes in your drywall. It sands smoothly, but creates an immense amount of dust. Be sure to have your wife go on vacation before you think about sanding.

Really awesome stuff

It was a little bit more money than the usual patch, but well worth it. Went up fast, dried fast sanded great. Went up in one coat and filled deep holes.

Very bad experience the product was spoiled.

Lowes is my preferred place to buy home products but this item was worthless. It might be because it was stocked for a very long time. I ended up returning it.

Taking this but for another, it has been setting to long on the shelf and is no good!

Will Not Work On Ceilings

I needed to repair large holes in plaster ceilings. The cracked plaster had to be removed leaving only the lath. This ready to use Presto Patch was too thin, meaning it would not stick to the lath and would simply drip off. It may work good on walls but why not just use Joint Compound, its cheaper. I returned it and bought Plaster of Paris which when mixed correctly sticks to the lath and several layers later it fixed my ceilings.

Exterior Patio Wood Beam Patch

I had one rough-sawn 6" x 12" x 18' wood beam on my patio cover devastated by carpenter bees and I used this product to repair the beam. For small gouges of less then 1" only one application was necessary. Any gap larger required multiple applications and 7 hours drying time in between applications. It worked perfectly and was easy to sand and shape for end design. Accepted exterior paint with no problem and looks awesome. I used the entire bucket to repair the beam and it saved me hundreds of d...

not easy to use

The product was not mixed so it too an hour or more to mix the product up and then it was not easy to use

Old and moldy

Purchased the last bucket of this material. Opened it to find it was so old all material had settled into a brick like state and black mold had formed inside the container. Will definitely return this item ASAP.

Worst Ever

I'm usually a big fan of DAP products but this stuff is useless. I've been restoring my old victorian for a long time, and by far this is the worst product I've bought in all that time. I gave it 1 star as no stars isn't an option. It has the consistency of watered down joint compound and for the life of me I can figure how anyone thinks they can patch anything with this slop.

TERRIBLE PRODUCT

Runny, gooey does not fill large holes easily. Don't waste your money use regular spackle instead!!!

Wish I had read the reviews first

Terrible product- soupy, messy and impossible to work with. I will be returning it for a refund

Good Choice!

I had a good experience buying this product I have old siding that was cracked and pieces were missing. I could not afford to reside my house so I decided to paint it myself. I am a stay at home mom with little home repair experience and while my husband was working I patched/sanded every hole. It was very easy to use and looks good. I was able to fill holes from the size of a nail hole to the size of a pizza box! I followed the directions word for word, only apply in shade because it does dry q...

Just runs!

Unfortunately this just runs... slowly. It is terrible at filling anything.

miserable stuff

is horrible to try to work with on bigger areas you are trying to patch.is runny and hard to keep on spackle blade
