Beware the microsphere!by Jeff Bozos (1 out of 5 stars)
March 29, 2017
From the comments here it seems some people satisfied with their DAP spackle. They may be using a different product than the version I got. Mine said it had "microsphere technology". Perhaps it was the "microspheres" but it was completely unusable.
The spackle was dry and crumbly and difficult to get into holes and smooth. I tried mixing it with water and without. I figured maybe microspheres are tempermental.
After much effort to get the spackle applied and semi-smooth.... it never dried. I waited a week and it still had the consistency of soft clay. It took me several times longer to remove it as it did to patch the holes in the first place - it was like digging old chewing gum out of the drywall.
It happens that my wife had purchased 3 small containers. I took some of the spackle out of all three. None of them dried.
I saw someone from DAP claiming the product was past its shelf life for someone with a similar problem. If that's the issue, I'd like to know how we can check the shelf life? There's no expiration date (or any dates) on the package. Maybe DAP should let retailers know, or pull the bad lots of worthless product?
Anyway, I don't think I'll ever buy another DAP product.
It's not like spackle formulation is rocket science. DAP's defective/bogus microspheres made an unpleasant project take 10 hours longer than it would've with any normal spackle, so I'm not likely to forget the DAP brand.
It's a fantastic product -- easy to work with

Opened the container and the spackle was in dried chunks and completely unusable! I have been using Dap Fast N Final for over 25 years so I know that it should look fluffy and go on smooth and creamy. I ordered it from Amazon because it's always sold out in my local store. It's a fantastic product -- easy to work with, dries hard, and never cracks or shrinks. I have had containers of this product in my basement for YEARS and they didn't dry out like this. Will be returning!
Doesn't last and pops out after a short time.

It's very light, as advertised. But that's where it seems to stop being as advertised. One container was hard when we opened it.
When we apply it, it doesn't fill completely and leaves a lot of small "˜dimples' as compared to traditional compound.
It's advertised as paintable in an hour. But it doesn't fill smoothly, so if you paint over then you get an uneven surface.
It doesn't seem to like sanding. When sanded, pieces flake out from the holes.
We found that we had to patch and sand about three times before getting a satisfactory fill.
Two weeks after filling and painting, the compound is pushing out from the drywall leaving holes again.
Repairing with traditional compound leaves a smooth finish and no popping, which is desired. We recommend going for traditional which is heavier and takes longer to dry but produces much nicer final results.
and it was annoying have to buy another and different spackle

The product crumbled as I tried to get it out of the container...obvious it was dried out. I still tried to use it, but it would NOT adhere to the surface of the wall. It was not a paste....it just cruimbled into pieces. Certainly not what I expected...I have purchased and use spackle before many times. It had outlived its shelf life.....and it was annoying have to buy another and different spackle....did not want the replacement.
Buy this at your local hardware store...

I had used this product in the past and it was great. This container was really gummy and didn't work like it had in the past. I went to my local hardware store and the container of what I think is the same product that I bought there was the old standard. I am not sure what was wrong with the container that came from Amazon (perhaps it was VERY old???), but I will NOT order this product from Amazon again...
Maybe as designed, but not for all applications

This material is not easy to spread. It is somewhat stiff and clumpy. Might be as it is supposed to be but we were looking for the smoother spreading material. DAP also makes a type that goes on pink and dries white. It was much better for our application.

came dried up and unusable!!!
nothing like regular joint compound
by Mike (1 out of 5 stars)

This product is to Dry and Thick, nothing like regular joint compound. Hard to spread on and cause it's so dry it is flaky and falls all over the place as your trying to spread it on.
Terrible product and I am going back to regular joint compound.
Good idea, poorly executed product.

This consistency of this stuff from batch to batch is unreliable. I have gotten containers that are really smooth and easy to spread and some where I have to work the material for a minute to get it smooth enough to work. Temperature doesn't seem to be a factor with this. Also, once dry, this doesn't sand very well. It really clogs up sandpaper and it's hard to get to a smooth, paintable surface.
This product is dried-out junk.

This product is junk. I would give it zero stars if I could. It was dried out and not pliable at all. Wouldn't adhere to the wall or spread. Threw it away. A total waste of money.
