Easy patch repair

#dapeclipse #dapcanada #diywithdap I received this to try for free and was happy to be chosen for the trial. I repaired a hole in my washroom wall with the kit and was excited to see how easy the product was to use and how fast it was to repair the hole in my wall . I have a few patches left over to use for another project. Definitely easier than mudding and sanding holes in the wall.

Easy Patch-up

I received this from #thisisbutterly #dapeclipse #dapcanada #diywithdap for my honest review. I have used the 5 cm patch on my wall. It worked amazing. I did not need to go through the hassle of getting the dry wall for such a small spot or wait to sand it than paint it. This was the quickest (about 2 minutes)and easiest repair I have ever done. Once the paint was dry, no one was able to tell where the hole was as it was seamless. This is a great investment and I will definitely be buying more of these.

Dry wall compound still works better.

I have an old house an so there are many dents of various sizes and depths that could use a patch repair. The product is easy to work with, just peel and stick the patch over the dent/hole. I followed the instructions as printed on the package but the results were not better than using dry wall compound or filler. This patching product is supposed to save time and I see that it would save a step of sanding when using compound but I spent more time adding extra layers of paint (the instructions say to apply 2 after applying the patch,) to try and hide the edges of the patch which still show through after the paint is dry.
This patch may also make a little less mess because you don't have to sand after applying but I am not happy with the results. Now I have do another repair.

Works but not perfect

#gotitfree. I got a DAP sample in the mail to try out. I received three sizes and picked the one rhat was closest to my hole. When we got the house not all the doors had door stoppers, and having young kids we got the wall behind damaged quite soon after. This sample was perfect for that issue so I was really excited to try it out. We opened the packafing and we identified the right size patch and followed the instructions on the package. It was straight forward and the finished result was good. For a house with no small kids might be more suitable, as the edges of the patch is a bit visible on the wall. As soon as my kids discovered it, they couldn't stop messing with it and thwy managed quite easily to poke a whole in it and peel one a bit the edge. Overall I would recommend, as mentioned works well, but not children proof as it is not a perfect blend. Would probably buy.

An absolute game-changer for drywall repair

My husband and I were familiar with DAP because their silicone caulking is a go-to in any home reno project that necessitates a sealer. I was very interested with the concept behind this new product offering of drywall repair patches. The DAP Eclipse Rapid Wall Repair Patch comes in a number of sizes, depending on the diameter of the hole you're looking to fix - I received a 15cm and 10cm patch, as well as a pack of 5cm patches, which come 4 to a package. I guess I can see the utility of the 5cm packages for screw and plug holes, but those are easy enough jobs to just mud since the holes are so tiny. The larger patches are incredibly useful, though, and I don't see us ever going back to the messy job of mudding. These are fool-proof to use - just stick the patch over the hole (sand first to clean up any rough edges) - paint - remove the top sticker layer of the patch - and paint once more. No more mucking about with mud and scraping to level it all out. This comes out much cleaner and smoother, with no effort and very minimal clean-up (really just the sanding, if necessary, and the paint brush!). I was skeptical that these transparent stickers could be stronger than drywall, but...I don't know what to say. They're like magic. This is a must-have product that the home reno market really needed. I'm a convert!

Dap cuts time and costs substantially

The first thing that I thought was what’s the worst that could happen? Sometimes we are so afraid to try something new but to achieve the best results when we prepare for the job is by looking at and reading all the instructions listed on the package. With a little patience and following each step from 1-6 even a novice like myself can complete a near invisible wall repair with the Dap Eclipse Rapid Wall Repair Patch. We started with approximately a 1-inch gaping hole in the wall, and it took us about 1 hour to complete the repair. Dap makes it so easy to repair any size hole in your drywall because they come in 5cm-10cm and 15cm patches. Going the do-it-yourself Dap Eclipse route on our home repair cut time and costs substantially. No more drywall compound and a roll of paper tape and waiting for each coat of plaster to dry and sand after each coat! There is no greater sense of satisfaction when I love to look at this completed project and think that we did that. Highly recommend #gotitfree

Quick fix of the problem!

Had an opportunity to try DAP Eclipse - rapid wall repair patch to finally fix the long-awaited hole that has been there since we moved in.

With the size of the hole we have on our walls, I used the 5 cm repair patch. It was easy to apply but was confused about the instructions at first because it's asking to peel after first application.

I was originally skeptical about how a plastic sticker would blend into a gypsum board drywall since they are two different material types. Then on the second application the idea of peeling off the top layer of the sticker starts to make sense.

Five(5) layer of paint was applied on five consecutive days and we can still see the plastic outline of the sticker visible. Unfortunately the top coat did not hide the detail when looking closely at the wall.

The traditional method of putty and sanding would still be the best choice of repair with more better results, especially when both methods take relatively the same amount of time and amount of effort to resolve.

Conclusion:
I would buy this product as an easy and quick fix, especially as a person who is not too familiar on working with drywall, but I think this will not be the choice for the keen eye that's picky and want perfection as the sticker tend to create a wrinkle simply based on the commonality of how plastic behaves when there is a pocket of air behind it. Putty will always be more seamless because it dries and is sandable.

Would buy this product for small repairs and to hide the problem for the satisfaction of getting the problem resolved. At least it fixed the eye sore I have been staring at for a while.

Patching made simple

DAP Eclipse drywall repair patches are really easy to use.
We moved a floating shelf and had some holes that needed repairing. Our spackle was old, dried out, and unusable. I think having these patches in a variety of sizes on hand would come in handy for this situation. I had 2 small hole that were small enough for the 5cm patches, but they were too close together so I opted for the 10cm patch. I used a 5cm on a single small hole. After smoothing out the area I applied the patches and one coat of paint. After drying I removed the protective layer by pulling the pop up tab (which I thought was pretty cool). 2 more coats of paint and voilà, holes repaired! The one thing I was concerned about was being able to see the edge of the patches, and you totally can BUT only if you’re looking for it.
I would certainly recommend these. They are simple and take less finesse than spackling. Comparing a previous spackle job I did to these patches, the patch job looks way better.

Very Intriguing Product

I received this product to test out in exchange for my honest review from @thisisbutterly @chickadvisor and @dapcanada. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this product. They are extremely easy to use, and I thoroughly enjoy the fact that there is no putty involved in filling the holes, it really saves so much time! I used two of the 5cm patches on two small holes, and it is like the holes were never there to begin with. I would highly recommend this product, and will definitely be purchasing again.

Super Easy to Use

These are super easy to use, it’s as simple as size you the hole, sand, peel, stick and paint. Just as easy as it sounds! It’s so simple to use and only took a few minutes l!
