DAP INC 18746 Alex Plus Quart Spackling, 32 oz, White

No complaints at all about the performance of this spackle. I've used DAP products for many years, and have always been happy with their performance and value. This is no exception.But what I really like about this is that it's in a sealable tube. I've had to toss out countless tubs of partially-used spackle since the material dries out and becomes useless regardless of how much care I take in putting the lid back on. This is in a tube which has a good cap to keep the contents from drying out.The tube makes it easy to deal with small holes/dents since you can apply it directly from the tube to the wall and smooth it out with a putty knife. Quick and mess-free.It's a bit more expensive per ounce compared with a tub, but the ease of use and the ability to keep it tightly sealed in storage more than offset the additional cost. Highly recommend, especially if you're tired of tossing out dried-out tubs of partially used spackle.

Now that I've used it several times I really love this product. Wish I could give it more than 5-stars. I forgot the best part, as advertised and marked on the label, "No flashing." What a difference! Who wants to paint 4 coats of paint over caulk to get rid of the shiny "flashing" residue, especially on walls with any color other than white. Wish I would have found this sooner, instead of using those small tubs of caulk that always seem to dry out, no matter how well re-sealed (I use a hammer), long before you come close to using even a 1/4 of the product and have to throw it out. From my original review: Works well, much better than a dried up tub of spackle. Smooth, even, like toothpaste coming out of a tube. I do anticipate having to use more pressure when the tube isn't new and full (an issue for arthritic hands) but so far, I'm very pleased with this product as far as quality, coverage, and ease of use.

I love this clay! It was a bit off putting when I first opened it. It seems hard yet stretchy. After grabbing at it and getting a chunk. It was soft and not very stretchy, worked it for about a minute or two and it was very pliable! I could get it fairly thin, it would be perfect frosting on a clay cake!! I used some silicone molds for a different project. I tried some kids soft clay from my super store. And then this clay.Con: this clay dosent pick up tiny details. And you kind of need to stuff a lot in the silicone mold to pick up the basics. But that's just in the case of silicone molds. Don't let that discourage you.I also used a lollipop mold and this clay picked up the swirls perfectly! So I guess it depends on the detail your going for.Pro: the clay held up! In the ice cream mold I used, they both got squished a bit. The kids clay flattened. While this clay bounced back! I gently adjusted it a bit and it looks like nothing happened!Overall I recommend this clay! No strong funky smell, fairly easy to use, non toxic (amazing for me because my cat loves to try and put her mark on everything 🙄😂) and light weight when it's dry! Absolutely perfect for my making of figures and things!

This spackling was priced well for the quantity. It maintained moisture level well throughout my project, and was easily workable. It also sands nicely. Do not try to smooth it perfectly when applying in one coat, however; though it resists shrinkage, it is not immune, and will dimple if you smooth it flat on the first application.

I have been using this for filling drywall and wood. This does an amazing job. It dries quickly hand is very durable. It sands easily and looks great

With a house full of boys, our walls have seen many substantial holes. This is the best spackling paste I’ve ever used. It is smooth, stirs easily, applies consistently, dries surprisingly fast, and accepts paint well. Once painted over, you cannot tell the difference between the spackle and the drywall. I didn’t realize how much spackling paste came in this order (my own fault for not reading thoroughly), so I was pretty surprised with the amount at first, but the lid seems to seal nicely and I haven’t seen any indication of it drying inside the tub.

I used to rely on Flexall to patch cracks but apparently that has been discontinued. Decided to try this and it has worked quite well. Easy to use. Good consistency. Easy to paint over. I'm very happy with the product.

My product arrived in flawless condition. A few reviews claim that the product arrived damaged e.g., broken container, dried up product, damaged lid. In my case, the lid was taped closed ensuring it would remain intact during transportation. Air filled-bags provided shock absorption inside an appropriate sized box. The product was of proper consistency, and manufactured relatively recently (batch code indicates manufacture date of 8-August, 2020. Product received 5-November, 2020.) The box was also hand delivered despite the man having to walk up 4 flights of stairs. He also wore a mask and verbally identified himself and asked for my name before handing over the goods. Above and beyond the call of duty.The product itself is excellent. It goes on very smooth and doesn't leave an orange peel pattern. Other brands are thin or airy. This spackle is nice and dense and creamy, requiring only one application. For the price, you can't beat it. Vastly less expensive than the warehouse stores, and offering double the amount. 5-stars. This is the Heinz Ketchup of spackle.
