DAP INC 18741 Platinum 16OZ Patch Filler

Dap platinum is an excellent product. I have used it for several years, primarily on wood and composite siding and trim. It is easy to apply, bonds well to whatever you are using it on, sands easily, doesn’t crack, holds paint and lasts- I have patches that have been in place for 3+ years. This product also stores reasonably well IF you take the time to push a layer of Saran Wrap down onto the surface of the product and then tightly seal the container.This is a fine product that, properly applied will last a long time.

Worked fantastic on my porch. Also great for repairs on ceramic and wood. A great value and this is my go to product for repairs. Very pleased with the results.

Works great and easy to use.

I cannot speak to durability because I just used this product today, but it went on quickly and my tools cleaned up easily as long as I cleaned them soon after use. I sincerely hope that it is as mildew resistant as the label claims. I removed a star because it does not dry as quickly as I would like in my area. On the other hand, if it dried too quickly, it would be difficult to install into unusually shaped crevices. The texture appeared to be appropriate for my repairs. I will add a star if I this as durable and mildew resistant over time as stated on the the container. The one drawback is that, as the directions say, deeper areas must be built up 1/8 inch at a time. It would be wonderful if I could find a product with the ease of use and mildew resistance of this product, but could be used much thicker. Unfortunately, everything I looked at fell short in one of my key requirements. This did not perfectly fit my needs, but it is the best product available for my repair jobs.

This product is very uniform and easy to spread, you can level with easily, it dries extremely quickly. Once it's dry, it's easy to sand flush. You can fill large holes you can fill salt small holes. You can fill flat shallow holes. Once it's dry and over painted, it's essentially weatherproof. I don't know why anybody would use anything else unless you want a complete curing system like Bondo. This is not structural it's just for cosmetic, but you can rebuild massive areas of loss very easily. It's hard for you to believe how fast it drives.

I needed to replace a rotted board on my front porch. After removing it, I cleaned out any soft wood in the board above it and attached a new board. There were a lot of gaps that needed filling and after starting with a different product that didn't impress me, I tried Platinum Patch and it was just what I needed. It is water-resistant for outdoor use and is very easy to apply. It sands down nicely for painting, too. As a matter of fact, since the repaired part is looking so good, I'm going to sand down the rest of the wood on the porch and fill any holes or knots with Platinum Patch and repaint. I might also add that it saved me from spending $500 that a contractor quoted to replace the rotted board. Now for much less I'm going to have a brand new (or at least new-looking) front porch and I plan to buy more of this and revamp the back porch in the spring.

Great adhesion, easy to sand and paint

I used to fill in some screw holes in a fence gate (metal) and it worked well. It was easy to apply, dried pretty well and sanded well too. I was able to paint over it with issues and 3 months later looks great even with the deadly heat we have had here in the Phoenix area. I'll have to check back in in a year or so to report on how well it has held up over a longer time.
