DAP Presto Patch Multi-Purpose Patching Compound is a high-performance white dry mix for repairing interior walls, ceilings and floors. This 25 lb. size fills, levels and patches cracks and holes in concrete, masonry, plaster, wallboard and wood, and can be used to patch and level floors before installing floor coverings. Simply mix with water to create a workable compound that sets in 10–15 minutes and is ready to paint in approximately 30 minutes. Its non-shrinking formula dries hard and can be sanded for a smooth finish, helping you complete repairs with less waiting.
Mix three parts powder with one part cold water by volume, preparing only what you can use within the 5–10 minute working time. Apply to clean, properly prepared surfaces at temperatures of at least 50°F. Repairs wider than 1 inch or deeper than 1/4 inch require two layers with drying time between applications. Allow three days for full cure. For interior use; areas exposed to standing water or continuous moisture require a suitable waterproofing coating. Clean tools promptly with soap and water and follow the product label for complete application and safety instructions.
