Product Description:

DAP® DRYDex® Spackling provides a unique dry time color indicator that verifies when the patched surface

is dry and ready to be sanded and painted, thus providing a smoother finished surface in a shortened amount of

time. DAP® DRYDex® Spackling may be used to fill holes and cracks in surfaces such as drywall, plaster,

wood, brick and stone. Its ready-to-use formula spreads easily for fast, professional repairs that will not crack,

crumble or flake. DRYDex® dries hard, sands easily and can be painted.

Suggested Uses:

Ideal for filling holes, cracks and defects on:

• Drywall/Plaster

• Wood

• Brick

• Stone

Surface Preparation & Application:

• Surface must be clean, dry and free of foreign material.

• Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a clean putty knife.

• One application is usually sufficient for small repairs. For repairs deeper than 1/4”, apply two or more

layers allowing spackling to dry between applications.

• For a smoother finish, dip putty knife in water and lightly smooth spackling.

• Spackling will change color to white when surface can accept a second application or is ready to be painted

or sanded in 1 to 5 hours. Wet sanding is recommended to avoid generation of dust.

• Clean tools immediately with water.

NOTE: To retain the effectiveness of the dry time indicator, keep the container tightly closed after use.

For Best Results: • Do not apply when temperatures are below 50°F. • Do not apply outside if rain is expected within 24 hours. • Do not use on floors or as a caulk, sealant or joint filler over cracks and joints where expansion and contraction may occur. • DO NOT USE AS A SKIM COAT. • For exterior applications, always topcoat with a good quality exterior grade paint. • If a textured finish is desired, add clean sand to spackling compound prior to application.
