This will NEVER crack!
I run a property management maintenance shop with well over 300 units. I am reviewing this in a professional environment. I ordered this by accident about 10 years ago. Initially, we didn't understand what this does, and when to use it. The crew didn't like it because it has some sort of glue or admix in it. It's kind of a mix between spackle and caulking.

Still acts like its wet
OMG. There is no way to try and touch up any applications. 2 days and still can't sand or wipe unless I just keep making more applications. Comes off like it's still wet. Will not ever use again.

I use it for crafts!
I use this handy lightweight spackle to make cakes, puppets, and figurines! Love the ease of use and how well I can paint it with acrylics or watercolors!

Response from Staples :
Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to see your low star review on DAP Fast 'N Final Lightweight Spackling. Fast 'N Final is designed and marketed for minor cosmetic/surface repairs, such as dents/dings in wallboard, not large format repairs. Fast 'N Final is specifically formulated as a low moisture/low density spackling compound for faster dry time/paint time. Fast 'N Final does not dry with the same hardness as traditional heavyweight spackling compounds. As this is a water-based (acrylic-latex) formula, the sole drying mechanism is the evaporation of water. Dry time can be significantly impacted by cool or humid application conditions, moisture in the application surfaces or by thick (deep) applications of the patch. The most common cause for slow dry time/development of full hardness, results from application in excess of the recommended fill depth. As indicated on the product package label and supporting product literature: "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. Full dry (full hardness) will occur once all of the water contained in the formula has evaporated. Because you did not provide any details regarding your experience, such as the application surface, width/depth of fill, temperature, humidly or application technique, it is difficult to provide you with a more detailed reply in this format. DAP offers several traditional spackling compounds that may be more in line with your needs/preferences. At your convenience, please contact DAP’s Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we suggest an alternate product that aligns with your preferences.

Terrible Packaging
So not impressed .. I went to use it , took the foil seal of and squeezed and it all burst through the seam at the other end ! Had to scoop it off the carpet and use my fingers .

One step to painting!
Was great for patching small spots in wall. Dried evenly, no sinking, no sanding. I did not need to prime to paint.

No Clumps
I really loved using the DAP Fast and Final speckling. I had a few surfaces in my kitchen as well as my bathroom that needed to be sealed. I think this is a great product for small areas like around the sink and tub. It dries fast and is not chunky. Definitely something I will use often.

It set fast and worked great
I recieved this dap fast and final dry wall repair to rest out. Ket me just say it worked great. It was simple to apply it filled the hole perfectly with out having to sand. The best part i was painting my patch within a hour. My only small complaint is that it states the cap is also usable as a putty knife. But i didn't think it let a flat surface. I really recommended...

Simple, Clean and all in one
This product is perfect for your quick repair job. You do not have to pull out all the tools and deal with a big mess. Plus it dries super fast! I used it to fill in around light switches and they came out looking perfect.

Quick Dry easy application
I tried this product on a couple of small repairs to a bathroom wall, the built in putty knife wasn't the greatest but since the product is so smooth it made up for it. The light consistency of the spackle was a dream to use and dried super quick, I also like that after some practice i did not need to sand my repair another great feature. I was painting in less than 30 ...

SO EASY
Let's start with that fact that is convenient especially for small patches. The kids are always throwing a toy or accidently indenting the wall so this is the perfect product for us to have on hand. Yes I have some in a bigger container but it's heavy, has one of those hard to remove tops and can be a bit messy. So when I saw this with a built in knife and easy to close...

Patches up Holes Easy!
This product makes it super easy for beginners and more advanced users to patch up holes easily without even leaving a trace of the fact that you did it yourself! It looks as good as new and nobody knows where I accidentally made a hole in the wall

Fast and convenient
Overall this was a good product, the built in applicator was very convenient. It took a little practice on how hard to squeeze, but after a couple of attempts I got the hang of it. Only thing that is missing is a built in sander.
