Heavyweight spackling, like DAP DryDex Dry Time Indicator Spackling, is a thicker, knife-grade consistency, which dries slower than lightweight spackling but provides the additional strength often needed for larger repairs.However, lightweight spackling should be used only for smaller nail-hole repairs and dents, and not for medium-size or large repairs. Because it does not sink or shrink, there’s no need for sanding and you can move right to painting. Lightweight spackling, like DAP Fast ‘N Final Lightweight Spackling, has a light and fluffy consistency, allowing it to dry quickly.The longer working time that joint compound provides is well suited for skim coating or covering larger wall areas such as taped joints of newly installed drywall.
Spackling compound dries faster than joint compound and shrinks less, making it ideal for patching small to medium-size holes and dents in drywall or plaster. Why choose spackling instead of joint compound (also called drywall compound)? They have different properties. It all comes down to choosing the right spackling compound (there are different types for different issues) and applying it properly. The goal is to achieve a wall or ceiling that looks perfectly painted. Much of that prep work involves spackling compound, a paste used to fill imperfections and smooth surfaces. It’s often said that painting a room is 90% preparation.
