Spectacular Spackling

I received the DAP Wall Repair Patch Kit to test for free. I liked the fact you get all the required items in the kit. I think it would be better if the instructions for opening the spackling tub were part of the instructions on the side of the tub, or written in black on the top, instead of in pink on a pink lid. It was hard to find.
The spackling spread on the wall easily and covered the hole with the provided putty knife. I like that the spackling goes on pink and dries white, so you know when it's ready to sand.
Once the sparkling had dried it sanded down easily and was ready to paint in just a day.
I liked that all the items in the kit can be put back in the easy open packaging and stored all together.
Overall, I recommend this product.

Great all-in-one kit for beginners

I was so excited to be chosen to try out the DAP Drywall repair kit for free in exchange for my honest review. I had actually purchased the product (the larger tub, not kit) the day before when I wasn't sure if I would be chosen as I really wanted to fix a few spots in the walls.
I have absolutely no experience repairing drywall and generally am not a handy person at all so this was very out of my comfort zone. The kit provides everything you need to repair small holes in drywall so I figured I would give it a shot!

What I liked:
+Kit comes with everything you need (spackling, putty knife, sand paper, patch, instructions)
+Product goes on pink and dries white so there's no confusion as to whether it's dry/ready
+A little bit goes a long way!
+Product dries quickly so you don't have to wait long to complete the next steps of your project
+So easy, even a beginner can use it

The things I found challenging (but could be contributed to user error):
-The spackle didn't spread as easily as I anticipated
-The putty knife is narrow and where it is plastic there seemed to be an imperfection or something causing lines when I spread the product

Overall, I am really impressed with this product and would definitely use it again. Despite my struggles spreading the product, the end result looks great after just two layers (and it didn't take long to dry!). I think for my next repair, I will use a bigger putty knife, use less product to start, and ensure I clean/sand the area better prior to spreading the spackling.
If you're a beginner like me and feel intimidated by small household repairs, I suggest you give this kit a try. And if you are seasoned in home repairs, you can't go wrong with the DAP Drywall repair kit either!

Drydex

I recently received DAP DryDex for free, and I’m so impressed with this product! It’s incredibly easy to use, and the pink color is a helpful feature—it changes color as it dries, so you know exactly when it’s ready for sanding or painting. Cleanup is simple, making it perfect for DIYers, especially for my single lady clients who have bought homes from me. You don’t need to be a contractor to get great results with this! DAP DryDex is a must-have for anyone looking to handle home repairs with ease.

Perfect kit for DIYers

This is a great little kit that has everything you need to do a couple of patch jobs. The filler works really well, and the colour-changing is a killer feature that tells you exactly when it's dry and ready to sand, no guesswork needed. Definitely recommend. I received this particular item for free, but I've actually bought the filler myself in the past, and it's my go-to.

Product received for free from DAP and butterly in exchange for an honest review

I have been using DAP products eversince i became a homeowner in 2021 and have done a fair share of DIY projects especially the walls! We bought this house for a lower price due to battered doors and toilets, but the worst was the walls . You wont believe how much holes i have patched in this house so i became well versed with it lol. Anyway i have used this kind of product before and i love that this looks so yummy, but at the same time it changes color and indicates when it is ready for sanding and painting. It is ideal for minor patching up and quick touch ups to keep your wall pristine looking. Especially with kids and pets around, it is really hard to keep everything perfect all the time. The only complaint i have is the spatula. I would use my own metal spatula since it slightly bends the way i want it too, but i was able to use it and still serve its purpose. It just makes me use up more of the product which is a waste in repairing a tiny spot. All in all i love it and will definitely buy this again in the summer for my basement and garage projects!

Better than the competition

I got to try the Dap Drydex Dry Time Indicator Spackling Kit courtesy of @thisisbutterly. I was excited as I had patched holes in my wall previously with another brand that did not turn out well, so I had to redo them before I painted. The compound applied smoothly sticks well to a range of surfaces, including drywall, wood, and plaster. It’s easy to work with although I started off with way too much on the putty knife, but it was easy to remove the access. It sanded down smoothly, and created a seamless finish, blending well with the surrounding wall. The kit includes a putty knife, patch material and sandpaper, making it a complete package for small to medium patch jobs. Great for beginners or those more experiences. I think for the price point, it is a good choice for home repairs and DIY projects. This spackling compound has a dry-time indicator feature, which changes colour as it dries—going from the prettiest bubble gum pink to white—so you know when it's ready to sand and paint.
