Red Devil Lightweight Spackling Patch-A-Wall Kit

As advertised. Very easy to use, less messy than spackling tubs, perfect for small repairs. Very light and dry – easy to apply so small areas with a fingertip. No need to mix, spill, or cleanup afterwards…just put the top back on and you’re ready for the next touchup job.

O.k., I put off the repairs for months, maybe it was over a year, first I tried to hire a professional to do the repairs, but such a small job, no one would call back and if they did they would put me off, also it would have been several hundred dollars. Anyway, I watched a couple of videos, went to paint store, had my paint matched perfectly. I then repaired, and painted the areas. My walls look perfect! Make sure you buy a can of texture if you need it, practice on cardboard first, also sand paper. If you don’t do it right the first time, it is east to fix it. Don’t give up, Have fun!

The good:
1. It comes with a small sand paper and small mesh that you can use to cover the holes before applying it. I used the mesh it adhered to some places and not so great in other places. But it worked.
2. It’s a small box that covered a lot of nail holes and slight wall damage when the nails were removed.
3. It dries pretty quickly, so I was able to paint the next day.
4. The kit is indeed all you need so no need for other tools. I did use a different sanding cube since this paper felt small and with less grit than I wanted.
5. It did not shrink when it dried so there was no need for application – wait – application to cater to shrinking.

The bad:
1. Because it dries quickly, it tends to form particles or debris even around the container, the applicator and even on the wall as you are applying it.
2. I got a new product and wasn’t expecting mold inside of it, but it had mold.
3. It doesn’t have a plastic sheet inside the lid if you want to cover it up for later use, so it might very much be the “one time” as the name suggests.
4. The label mentions dangers of reproductive problems etc, so that might also be a No, especially if you are using without gloves.

I would have given it a higher rate but the first time it arrived the packaging was there, but the putty knife, instructions and mesh was missing. I contacted Amazon and they sent a new one with all the parts. Worked great, just needed all the parts in the first place. Kinda delayed the project

Got this to patch up small holes at our apartment when we moved out. Comes with so much so will have it for a while. Great kit, easy to use, and works great for patching up. Came as expected.

I had a hole in my ceiling opening up to the attic, and after securing it with some adhesive netting, I put this paste over it for double protection/reinforcement, and it doesn’t look messy. The applicator makes it very easy to spread, and I am a non-DIY-er. The paste is thick enough so that it doesn’t fall from the ceiling when you apply it – and it hardens quickly. No mess, no hassle.
