What happens here

The presenter examines DAP Fast 'N Final Lightweight Spackling, noting its 'patch and paint in one' feature, which means it contains resins to eliminate the need for priming before painting. While this might seem convenient, the presenter shares his lack of success with such products, primarily due to their short shelf life. He demonstrates how his container of this product has already dried out, becoming hard and unusable, unlike traditional lightweight spackling that remains viable for years when sealed properly. He attributes this to the primer-like additives, suggesting they shorten the product's longevity in the container.

Goal: Evaluate the 'patch and paint in one' spackling products.

made by Bondo once again I want to talk a little bit about um lightweight spackle patch and paints in one so this is a product from dap right here it's um fast and final lightweight spackling paste I haven't had it that long and um I opened it up and it's all kind of um getting really hard and um not usable now so I'll talk a little bit about containers that these things come in you always want to have your containers sealed and tight or your products are going to dry out but this is a patch and paint one so typically with your spackle lightweight um or your vinyl spackling paste you need to prime before you do any painting because they're very porous products and you'll see you know where uh where the spackling was done if you're not careful but this is a prime and patched one so it has products resins in it and stuff that make it so you don't prime one of the drawbacks to it is it doesn't last long in the container that's why I want to show you it's already getting um hard and brittle and stuff so it's not um it doesn't have the life that like a lightweight spackle does here and our lightweight spackle here I mean we we've have them in our vehicles as long as you keep them sealed they can be in there for several years in these um plastic containers that seal uh very tight but um the patch patch and paint in one you know I um I haven't really seen a whole lot of difference you know with those products and haven't had a lot of success with them um I've had them dry out like this and once again I think it's because of the products in there that make it a primer also that um give it you know a little bit shorter shelf life I guess or or probably a lot lot um shorter shelf lot shorter shelf life the shelf life isn't as long is your typical products right here and we're accustomed
