DAP DryDex Spackling has a dry time color indicator: it goes on pink and turns white when the patch is dry and ready to sand or paint. Use it to fill nail holes, cracks, dents and defects in drywall, plaster, wood, brick and stone, inside or out. The ready-to-use paste spreads easily, will not shrink, crack, crumble or flake, dries hard, sands easily and needs no primer. This is the half-pint tub (DAP UPC 7079812328).
| Dry time | 1 to 5 hours, depending on temperature, humidity and depth of fill (it turns white when ready) |
|---|---|
| Apply at | 50 F to 100 F; not outside if rain is expected within 24 hours |
| Service temperature | 0 F to 150 F |
| Base | Latex polymer paste, water cleanup |
| Solids | 77% by weight |
| Freeze/thaw | Stable for 5 cycles at 0 F |
| Shelf life | 12 months |
DAP lists 1 to 5 hours. Deep fills, cool air and high humidity take longer; wait until the pink has turned fully white.
DAP says not to use it on floors, as a skim coat, for tuck pointing brick, or as a caulk over cracks and joints that expand and contract. For large patches on bare concrete, use a latex-fortified Portland cement mix.
