My go-to for everything exterior/interior 8+years
5 months ago
I do construction remodel/maintenance for a living.
This is my first go-to produce for any type of filling or repairs. I've used it for approx 10 years on cement, exterior rotted beams, steel doors, trim, pvc, vinyl, exterior corner beams that had substantial dry rot, stucco, cement statues with broken sections, etc. It can be filled in, formed to shape (corner beams, missing cement statue sections, rounded, etc).
Most importantly, it dries rock/steel hard, paint the finished area, and last for years in extreme temperatures.
Trick to make it smooth as silk: Putty in, smooth texture, wait until 5-10 min while still damp, take a damp soft cloth and gently wipe across. You can do this again to create smooth as silk finish. Let cure and paint to protect.
Storing product: the tub is the way to go. Put lid on, flip container UPSIDE down, tap on hard surface like cement to force martial to sit on lid and fully seal lid. Store upside down so no air sits on the product. I've stored and used product well over a year old without any issues. Proper storage is the key. Also, make sure spatula is clean before using product. A dirty spatula creates a bacteria growing environment and cause mold to grow in the tub.

Good product
4 years ago
It sure does what it says that it does. The 1 reason why I gave it a 4 star is because maaaan, that stuff is hard to sand down. If your just doing a small hole or little patch work fine. I had a customer ask me to use it in 2 exterior ceilings where he used hardy board. So I filled in all seams and screw holes. Took me 5 days to putty it all and sand it all completely down.
- Yes,
- I recommend this product.

Excellent results
a year ago
Used the product from the tub, not the tube, and achieved excellent results filling various gouges and holes in exterior wood siding. As one reviewer mentioned, once cured it can be difficult to sand. I did one side of the house two years ago and the areas where Platinum Patch had been used have held up perfectly.

Tube too difficult to squeze
2 years ago
In frustration I cut open the tube to gain easy, efficient access to the spackle. If as in a previous comment the manufacturer claims "old shelf life" then I would suggest " use by " date on the tube. Would not buy the tube ever again.
- No,
- I do not recommend this product.

Printable does NOT take stain :(
3 years ago
I had seen this product mentioned when researching a filler for my deck... works great. Filled easily, drier fast, sanded well but did not take stain at all... now I'm left with white spots on my deck. I am a beginner and leaving this review for other beginners out there so they don't make the same mistake. I will see how it works for other patch/fill jobs down the road..

Don't buy the tube format
4 years ago
Repairing rot on external sills. The bucket-type is great and wanted something to fill the large cracks. The tube looked perfect for the job BUT I couldn't squeeze it out no matter how big I made the hole. I do not recommend this product in the tube.
- No,

Thank you for posting your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience with DAP Platinum Patch. Based on your description of the product's thick/stiff texture, it would appear that you may have purchased material that is aged or beyond its normal shelf life. As product ages, it will thicken to the point of becoming difficult or impractical to use. At your convenience, please contact DAP's Technical Customer Service Department at 888-327-8477 so that we can obtain some additional information from you, when calling in, please have the product package available, as we will need to collect production information from it and so that we can reach out to the store location where you purchased this product.

Love how easy it made the job
4 months ago
I'm thrilled at how easy this made the job and how good the results look.
This works better than regular wood filler to repair fence aging. Great consistency for filling the spacees. Clings well to wood, and doesn't instead cling to your spatula/fingers. On larger holes, stays as a hunk that you've put in. I was able to shape the bottom of raggedy boards, so they look newer, and paint would stick.
Key is to use a little water to smooth it over. Makes sanding go quickly. I didn't find it hard to sand using 60 grade. Dries quickly. Easy to paint over and looks invisible. I noticed drying in the can, so I switched to putting a bunch in plastic wrap to use rather than leaving the container open.
I think it dries white. When I called dap, they said this doesn't need primer. The wood filler needs primer to avoid moisture seeping in overtime.
I found it looked best if you don't glop it on, but really use some water and some sanding to make it blend in with the wood. Then when you paint on it, you wouldn't notice. Whereas if you glop it on gets that look like you repaired and painted.
Found it at Lowe's.
