DAP Patching Plaster White – Ready-to-Use 1 Gal Patch for Walls

Efficient interior patching for walls and ceilings

Meet DAP Patching Plaster, a ready-to-use patching compound designed to fill holes and cracks in plaster and drywall before painting. Its smooth, latex-based formula helps you achieve clean repairs with less mess and a faster turnaround, making it a dependable option for both DIY projects and professional touch-ups.

Key benefits include a general-purpose, ready-to-use patching blend that saves prep time and a latex-based system that dries quickly with minimal shrinkage. This means fewer callbacks and a smoother surface that’s easier to sand. Holes and cracks can be addressed prior to painting, with a paint-ready surface achievable in roughly 1–5 hours depending on temperature, humidity, and the depth of fill. The patching material offers a smooth working consistency for neat repairs, and tools wash up easily after use. While recommended for interior applications, it is well-suited to interior walls in living spaces, hallways, and bedrooms where a seamless finish matters.
