Fantastic product!
I used two 6 inch Eclipse patches to repair a water damaged ceiling. The repair was quick, easy and there was no spackle mess to clean up or days waiting for spackle coats to dry and sand! Just apply the patch and paint! Will definitely use this again! Amazing product! Thanks, Dap!

What a waste of money
Bought the 6 inch and 4 inch (2 separate holes to cover) and followed instructions of placement. The first thing I noticed is it didn't stick well following painting. When I pulled the tab, the tab itself ripped off and didn't pull the remaining protective layer. So, I'm stuck. I ended up painting over the rest of the patch. Do not use!!

Not Sure How To Fix
Worked great last summer! But the winter temperature changes have created a bubble. This was a linear crack. Not sure what to do to fix it. Any ideas? TIA

Meh
While fairly easy to apply, the result was less than stellar. I used one 6 inch and one 4 inch patch in different places. The patch edges are clearly visible even after excellent quality primer and paint (two coats each), and the centres seem to bulge somewhat. While usable in a pinch, these are no replacement if you want a nice result.

Response from Staples :
Thank you for posting your feedback. We are sorry to see your low star review on DAP Eclipse Wall Repair Kit. When applied as directed, a total of 3 coats of paint are recommended (or possibly more, depending on the paint selected and your application technique). The application of multiple layers of paint are designed to "feather" (blend in) the repaired area with the existing wall surface and create a seamless repair, however, DAP can make no specific guarantee regarding the visibility of any repair, whether accomplished with traditional wall repair compounds or with Eclipse Patch. Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please free to contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477.

Definitely purchase again!
This product worked perfectly! I'm so glad I purchased this product. The option to have no sanding or spackling first appealed to me. Then, I noticed how thin the product is, and I was hooked. I followed the instructions exactly and the finished result is flawless! Rarely does a product work as described, but this one does.

I'm in love!!!
We had lighting installed that required new wiring in the ceiling. We were left with 8 holes to be repaired. The holes were 1" to 3" in diameter. I came across this product and it was the perfect solution. I followed the directions and it worked exactly as stated. Only one hole didn't come out perfectly smooth but I also had a difficult time reaching the hole, so I thin...

Okay Patch Depends on Lighting
The patch goes on well and seems solid. Unfortunately, under certain lighting, the patch is very obvious. Since this will be in a bright bathroom, it might be easy to see the patch depending on how the lighting works out. It was still clearly visible through 3 coats of paint. After 5 coats it looks good, but the outline is still visible sometimes. Use this product with ...

Response from Staples :
Thank you for posting your inquiry. In order to achieve best cosmetic results, it is necessary to properly follow the application guidance. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: "Holding the outer edges of the patch, position the grey center circle of the patch over the center of the damage and completely smooth and adhere the patch to the surrounding drywall using your hand. Press firmly against drywall to ensure adhesion but only press where the patch is in contact with the drywall. Do not push through the damaged area and do not remove the DAP pop-up tab or protective layer until after first coat of paint. Paint: Paint immediately with a high-quality paint roller and interior latex paint. Recommend painting with light pressure and applying copious amount of paint. NO SPACKLING OR SANDING NECESSARY. Remove: After first coat of paint is applied and surrounding drywall is dry, remove the clear protective layer by pulling the pop-up tab. Finish: Apply two additional thick coats of paint for a smooth and invisible repair.” When applied as directed, a total of 3 coats of paint are recommended (or possibly more, depending on the paint selected and your application technique). The application of multiple layers of paint are designed to "feather" (blend in) the repaired area with the existing wall surface and create a seamless repair, however, DAP can make no specific guarantee regarding the visibility of any repair, whether accomplished with traditional wall repair compounds or with Eclipse Patch.

Skeptical Until I Used It
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were in the middle of repainting our dining room when I received thee DAP product. We uninstalled the old doorbell system which left a small 1 inch hole in the wall. My spackling skills are not that great especially on holes. We decided to try the small stickers. We didn't think this would work and were highly skept...

Easy wall repair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is really easy to use. Make sure the area is FLAT! Then slap the patch on like a sticker. Paint over the whole application. Once that's dry, peel off the protective layer, and repaint. That's it! You don't have to deal with the mess of spackling and sanding. I used this on a couple of smaller holes in the ...

Easy to use for quick repairs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Eclipse wall repair patches made something that normally is a frustrating process go quick and easy. The instructions for using the patches were clear and easy to follow and the product did exactly what it said it would. Where there used to be a hole on my wall, now you can't even tell there ever was one.

So far so good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far it looks to be working well. I was worried about the ring of the patch showing up, but it looks great so far. The only thing I worry about is the kids poking at it and it breaking, but it's pretty sturdy. Looks to be a long lasting fix and is way easier than speckling and waiting for it to dry.
