Pink means wait, white means ready. DAP DryDex Spackling in the 5.5 oz squeeze tube changes color as it dries, so you can see when a patched nail hole, crack or dent is ready to sand and paint. DAP rates it for drywall, plaster, wood, brick and stone, indoors or out, and says the paste will not shrink, crack, crumble or flake.

How long does DryDex take to dry? DAP lists 1 to 5 hours, depending on temperature, humidity and depth of fill. Wait until the pink has turned fully white before sanding or painting.
Do I need to prime over it? No. DAP says DryDex needs no primer. Outdoors, always topcoat the patch with a good exterior paint.
What should I not use it for? 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.
