Product Description:

DAP® ALEX PLUS® Spackling is a premium spackling for filling holes and cracks in surfaces such as

drywall, plaster, wood, brick, metal and stone. Its ready-to-use smooth, white formula spreads easily for fast,

professional repairs that will not crack, crumble or flake. It has a de-aired texture for excellent tooling and easy

smoothing to a feather edge. ALEX PLUS® Spackling sands effortlessly. It can even be finger sanded – no

sandpaper needed when sanding small nail holes or hammer dents in drywall. Just use finger to smooth dried

spackling before painting. ALEX PLUS® Spackling provides superior paintability. It does not flash or gloss

low sheen/flat paint. It accepts paint like bare drywall or other porous surfaces and provides a very smooth

surface that disappears when painted. ALEX PLUS® Spackling dries quickly, but has a long working time and

will not gum up on knife. It can be used for interior or exterior applications.

     For a smoother finish, dip putty knife in water and lightly smooth spackling. One application is usually sufficient for small repairs. For repairs deeper than 1/8”, apply two or more layers allowing spackling to dry between applications. May be sanded or painted in 1 to 5 hours depending on temperature, humidity and depth of fill. Wet sanding is recommended to avoid generation of dust. Clean tools immediately with water.
