Review: Like Clock Work. - This product has an amazing technology that changes color to indicate when it’s dry. It’s easy to use, easy to paint, and requires hardly any sanding if you know how to use a potty knife. It’s also easy to wipe with a damp sponge or cloth to smooth out everything and make it flush. Overall, it’s a great product that I would buy repeatedly. Review: Great product! Worked better than the last stuff I got. - It’s great that it applies pink, then dries white when ready for sanding. I HATE doing drywall, but at least with this it was a bit easier. The consistency of the “mud” is perfect! You get a lot of it too. I bought my last bottle at ACE and it costed me 2x what I paid here. I didn’t think to check desertcart for this before, but I’m glad I did. I didn’t have any issues with my bucket arriving broken, or leaking in any way. I think maybe others might have purchased during a hot streak. The heat would make it expand in the bucket, and it would rupture. So, that’s something to consider. I bought mine in early October, with temps in the 60-70s. I also noticed that this blend was particularly easy to apply compared to others I’ve used. Requires less sanding that way, which is really great. Clean up is a breeze; water and your hands will do. I will not buy any other type from now on. This will be my go to. I hope my review helps. 😊 ## Features - DryDex is a latex polymer spackle for repairing interior or exterior surfaces like drywall, plaster, wood, brick and stone - Color indicator spackle goes on pink and dries white providing confirmation the product is dry within 1 to 5 hours - Wall patch dries within 1 hour for repairs 1/8" in depth; for repairs deeper than 1/8" apply two or more layers and allow spackle to dry between applications - Durable spackling will not crack, crumble, flake or shrink and creates professional looking wall repairs that last - Wall patch does not require priming when used indoors ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BQPYJ0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #167 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #2 in Hardware Sealers | | Brand | DAP | | Brand Name | DAP | | Color | Pink/White | | Compatible Material | Drywall, Wood | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8,892 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00070798123304 | | Included Components | 1 Tub | | Item Dimensions | 5 x 5 x 4.75 inches | | Item Form | Paste | | Item Type Name | spackling | | Item Weight | 1.9 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 5 x 5 x 4.75 inches | | Manufacturer | DAP PRODUCTS INC. | | Material | Latex Polymer | | Material Type | Latex Polymer | | Model | 7079812330 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 7079812330 | | Style | Tub | | Style Name | Tub | | Surface Recommendation | Interior/Exterior | | UPC | 070798123304 | | Unit Count | 32.0 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DAP - **Item Weight:** 1.9 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 5 x 5 x 4.75 inches - **Material:** Latex Polymer - **Style:** Tub ## Images ![DAP DryDex Dry Time Indicator Spackling, Pink/White, 32 Oz (7079812330) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aamiNpt6L.jpg) ![DAP DryDex Dry Time Indicator Spackling, Pink/White, 32 Oz (7079812330) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VF61ik0oL.jpg) ![DAP DryDex Dry Time Indicator Spackling, Pink/White, 32 Oz (7079812330) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81icUtBK1AL.jpg) ![DAP DryDex Dry Time Indicator Spackling, Pink/White, 32 Oz (7079812330) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718xBCwyfFL.jpg) ![DAP DryDex Dry Time Indicator Spackling, Pink/White, 32 Oz (7079812330) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818ZHnuiWVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this "show" after being painted, like the quick-shot stuff does?** A: not if you let it dry and sand it properly. make sure you make it as smooth and even as possible when applying. After sanding, and painting it is not visible. **Q: can this able to use hand to put on the surface or have to use tools ?** A: Depending on size of the job or how often you want to add the products, you could use your hand. If it's a big job, I would suggest using a tool, but I have always used my fingers to apply this product. The biggest job I have used it on required have required me to apply numerous coats, as without a tool, you will not be able to get a smooth lay of the product with your hands or fingers. Since I'm using for personal use at home, I don't mind if my job takes a week or so, without multiple applications. For example, to repair a hole in the wall, from a door stop plate I pulled off, the plates adhesive took off a good chunk of the wall off, a little more than a quarter inch deep and about the size of my hand. I applied drydex a bit at a time, to get nice thin smooth layers. After about 10-12 applications over a week or so, I had a slight mound over the area, at which time I was ready to sand it level. It was perfectly smooth and level, at which time I painted it with 2 layers. Another reason I don't like to use big chunks at a time, with tools, you will not be able to fill in all the nooks and crannies of your hole with a putty knife, unless you go slowly and work it in. Even then, when you use a lot of drydex, expect it to shrink as it dries. This might cause you to have to add more with a 2nd coat or just add a good mount, where you can just sand it down to be level. **Q: How much coverage will I get from this size?** A: I was able to spakle 4 holes plugs that were 6" diameter using about 1/8" of the tub. Including 3 applications for finishing and sanding. **Q: Trying to cover styrofoam diorama with this, can it be made watery to go on smoother or is this clumpy** A: I don't know how watery it will get, but adding water does smooth it out. A lot! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like Clock Work. *by A***I on February 9, 2026* This product has an amazing technology that changes color to indicate when it’s dry.

The color-changing feature is genius—it goes on pink and dries white, so you know exactly when it’s ready to sand and paint. No more guessing or premature sanding disasters! The texture is smooth and easy to apply, whether you're patching drywall, plaster, wood, or even brick. It dries quickly, sands down beautifully, and doesn’t crack or crumble like some of the cheaper alternatives. For deeper repairs, just layer it up and let it dry between coats—it holds up great. And let’s talk value: for the price, this 1-quart tub goes a long way. I’ve used it for multiple rooms and still have plenty left. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of wall repair, and my walls have never looked better. My home is happy, my paint job is flawless, and my inner DIYer is doing a victory dance. If you want reliable performance without overspending, this is the spackle to get! ## Frequently Bought Together - 1 qt Dap 12330 DryDex Interior/Exterior Spackling, White - Putty Knife, 4Pcs Spackle Knife Set (2, 3, 4, 5 in), Stainless Steel Paint Scraper, Taping Knife Tool for Repairing Drywall, Removing Wallpaper, Applying Putty, Plaster, Cement, Adhesive - Romeda 8-Pack Sanding Sponge, Four Grits Per Pack 60/80/120/220, Washable and Reusable Handmade Sandpaper Block, Drywall Sandpaper Blocks for Wooden Drywall Sheetrock and Metal Glazing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5426026-dap-drydex-dry-time-indicator-spackling-pink-white-32-oz](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5426026-dap-drydex-dry-time-indicator-spackling-pink-white-32-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
