Although this does dry fast, it shows through paint, regardless of whether you sand it or not. I used it on my bedroom without sanding (like the directions say) and the patchwork showed through the paint. I just used it this week on my living room, and sanded it, and tonight when I painted - yes it shows through here too. So I threw the product in the garbage, I'm not making that mistake again. I've used a number of other slower-drying spackling, and they don't show through like this. So take your time and buy a slower drying spackling. This just isn't worth it.

This stuff was just weird. It was very light weight and had a strange consistency. I prefer using joint compound.

Two weeks ago I applied DAP® Fast 'n Final® Lightweight Spackling to my ceiling to cover the bulging joints of the wallboard before I repainted it. The compound dried for a full day before I painted. Much to my surprise, when the paint over the spackling dried, it had the pattern of dried mud. I thought perhaps the compound had not dried sufficiently, and so I sanded the area to remove the pattern and waited two weeks. When I painted the compound again, the same dried mud pattern showed up. This product is garbage.
