5.0 out of 5 starsDOES THE JOB
By Stoney TOP 500 REVIEWER on July 7, 2012
Size: Pint
Applied properly, lightweight spackle completely fills a hole (even large holes) with one application, requiring no sanding, and not even requiring touch-up painting if applied to a flat bright white surface.

"Regular" spackle is likely to shrink or sag and flow, requiring several applications and sanding. Lightweight spackle does NOT shrink, sag, or flow.

FOR BEST RESULTS
->Fresh lightweight spackle (from a newly opened container) works best. Opened containers dry out quickly, and even slightly dried lightweight spackle does not work nearly as well. Therefore:
-->Use the smallest container (4oz) you can buy. If you are filling many holes, then refill the small container from a larger container.
-->Do not leave the container uncovered. Place the lid loosely over the container while working, and open only to scrap out a little spackle at a time for immediate use. Snap the lid completely shut anytime you won't be opening it for more than 5 minutes
-->Do NOT scrape excess from your spatula back into the container. Discard any excess or used spackle.
-->Be sure to snap the lids completely shut before storing containers. Store opened containers in a cool location, ideally in a tightly closed plastic bag.
-->If you haven't used a opened container for 6 months or so, it is best to buy a new one--particularly if you try to use it, and it doesn't work well.
->Use a flexible spatula at least twice as wide as the hole. I've found that cheap plastic spatulas (aka putty knives) work best, and it is best to have a variety of widths (1", 1 1/2", 2", 3", 5" etc). However, old thick plastic "credit cards", hotel key-cards or "membership cards" work very well.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsUse This Whenever I Paint - Great Results Always - Use This Technique
By Lady At The Lake on May 19, 2013
Size: Quart
I've used this DAP product on sand-finish walls and on the knockdown, when necessary. I've had perfectly excellent results when doing *small* patches. No shrinkage or crumbling. Be sure to use good daylight when working.

Our walls are knockdown textured. I had two half-moon gouges (small) in the wall near a light switch which were very noticeable. They were about the size of a man's thumbnail or so. I patched using the corner of a putty knife to apply the product carefully, then stroked the putty knife gently against the wall. Anywhere I had excess product, I wiped it away with a finger. Then I applied a little more product to finish filling to match the wall. Finally, I used my finger to gently dab over the spot, completely making it uniform with the wall. Not only did this improve the look to match wall texture, but it gave a perfectly uniform look which made the patch invisible after painting 2 coats properly and letting dry between coats.

In fact I tried a worse product (different brand) in a tube and had horrible results - it was too sticky and always wanted to shrink and not stay in the hole.

TIP: if you are inclined to use a good quality primer like Bullseye 123, then you will get a superior look before you paint over your spackle.

TIP: If you are having problems getting a natural look, then make sure you use a quality paint, 2 coats over top and let dry between each coat. I have never painted a room with paint that could get by with one coat. I like the look of nice paint, try the Sherwin-Williams Cashmere "flat," it gives beautiful results with two coats; very rich looking.Don't blame DAP if you are not painting properly over it once dry.

TIP: Also, pay attention to texture!Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsNot too good
By Robin A. on May 10, 2013
Size: 1/2-Pint Verified Purchase
I was surprised how light weight this product was. I applied over holes I had on my walls and it covered well, and it did not shrink!
The problem was it does not dry to a very hard finish, but semi hard which I did not like. You can practically scratch it off with your nail after it dries very easily.

5.0 out of 5 starseasy to use
By Amazon Customer on September 6, 2013
Size: Pint Verified Purchase
so easy to use. stay moist as long as it closed tight. really handy for all types of holes in the walls. i simply use an old credit card or those sample credit cards that come in the mail to put a glop into the hole. Put more than needed so that you push it in to fill in the hole and then scrap the excess to smooth it out. Don't stress about any imperfections because you can sand it down lightly with sandpaper.

3.0 out of 5 starsLight but Uncooperative
By Gigi Miner on May 26, 2015
Size: Pint Verified Purchase
The consistency is like whipped - something. A tad on the dry side. It tends to flake and fall before you can get it to adhere to the wall. It is light. So the weight will be negligible. But it takes a little bit of working to get it to stay where you put it. Moisture content seems minimal. But it lays on smoothly once you get it going.

1.0 out of 5 starsWorst spackling ever!
By Michael Day on July 14, 2009
Size: Quart
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.

Worked like a charm. Let it dry and sand! Sanding was very easy.

You'd better be perfect with a putty knife to use this product. It says that sanding is unnecessary - it should say that sanding is impossible! Read more

2.0 out of 5 starsDo not buy. Buy a better grade spackle.

This stuff is junk. You still have to sand even when applied perfectly. It doesn't try in minutes like it claims. And paint doesn't cover it up even after 3 or 4 coats!!!!!

The packaging clams you do not have to sand it. I thought that seemed like an impossible, magical claim, and it turns out it is. You need to sand if you want it to really blend in. Read more

Good product for those of you renting Nd looking to fill small holes and get your security deposit back. Only downside is that is dries a little rubbery.
