#DAP PLASTER WALL PATCH SKIM COAT PATCH#
Spread the spackling flat enough to see the outline of the patch through it. Then apply a thin coat of DAP DryDex Spackling. Start by applying spackling to the back of the patch and place it over the hole and a little beyond press it in place around the edges. It comes with all the necessary materials to complete the project. To patch holes that have gone all the way through drywall or plaster, like one made by a doorknob, use Wall Repair Patch Kit with DAP DryDex Spackling. Wipe off any dust with a tack cloth, tack rag or damp sponge. Then finish with a fine-grit sandpaper to create a smooth surface. When the spackling is dry, sand it first using medium-grit sandpaper to make it flush with the surrounding drywall. Be sure to keep your putty knife clean with water and a soft cloth. To give the spackling a smooth finish, wipe off the putty knife, dip it in water and lightly smooth the spackling. This will be sanded down when the spackling is dry. Let each layer dry before applying the next, and slightly mound the final layer. DAP DryDex Dry Time Indicator Spackling goes on pink and dries white. Put a small amount of spackling on a putty knife and apply it in ¼-inch layers. If the spackling looks dry when you open it, stir it with a small putty knife until it’s smooth and creamy.
If any fibers around the hole are sticking up, push them down toward the hole with the handle of a putty knife. These qualities make hybrid spackling perfect for any repair- small or large-and allows you to complete even large repairs in record time. It has the fast dry-time and low-shrinkage properties of lightweight spackling while giving you the strength and durability of heavyweight spackling. Hybrid spackling, like DAP Fast Dry Premium Spackling, contains the best properties of both lightweight and heavyweight spackling.Because it has a longer dry time, heavyweight spackling shrinks slightly, making it ideal to overfill your repair a bit and sand smooth when dry. Heavyweight spackling, like DAP DryDex Dry Time Indicator Spackling, is a thicker, knife-grade consistency, which dries slower than lightweight spackling but provides the additional strength often needed for larger repairs.However, lightweight spackling should be used only for smaller nail-hole repairs and dents, and not for medium-size or large repairs. Because it does not sink or shrink, there’s no need for sanding and you can move right to painting.
Lightweight spackling, like DAP Fast ‘N Final Lightweight Spackling, has a light and fluffy consistency, allowing it to dry quickly.The longer working time that joint compound provides is well suited for skim coating or covering larger wall areas such as taped joints of newly installed drywall.
Spackling compound dries faster than joint compound and shrinks less, making it ideal for patching small to medium-size holes and dents in drywall or plaster. Why choose spackling instead of joint compound (also called drywall compound)? They have different properties. It all comes down to choosing the right spackling compound (there are different types for different issues) and applying it properly.
The goal is to achieve a wall or ceiling that looks perfectly painted. Much of that prep work involves spackling compound, a paste used to fill imperfections and smooth surfaces. It’s often said that painting a room is 90% preparation.
