Does this "show" after being painted, like the quick-shot stuff does?

not if you let it dry and sand it properly. make sure you make it as smooth and even as possible when applying. After sanding, and painting it is not visible.

can this able to use hand to put on the surface or have to use tools ?

Depending on size of the job or how often you want to add the products, you could use your hand. If it's a big job, I would suggest using a tool, but I have always used my fingers to apply this product. The biggest job I have used it on required have required me to apply numerous coats, as without a tool, you will not be able to get a smooth lay of the product with your hands or fingers. Since I'm using for personal use at home, I don't mind if my job takes a week or so, without multiple applications. For example, to repair a hole in the wall, from a door stop plate I pulled off, the plates adhesive took off a good chunk of the wall off, a little more than a quarter inch deep and about the size of my hand. I applied drydex a bit at a time, to get nice thin smooth layers. After about 10-12 applications over a week or so, I had a slight mound over the area, at which time I was ready to sand it level. It was perfectly smooth and level, at which time I painted it with 2 layers. Another reason I don't like to use big chunks at a time, with tools, you will not be able to fill in all the nooks and crannies of your hole with a putty knife, unless you go slowly and work it in. Even then, when you use a lot of drydex, expect it to shrink as it dries. This might cause you to have to add more with a 2nd coat or just add a good mount, where you can just sand it down to be level.

How much coverage will I get from this size?

I was able to spakle 4 holes plugs that were 6" diameter using about 1/8" of the tub. Including 3 applications for finishing and sanding.

Trying to cover styrofoam diorama with this, can it be made watery to go on smoother or is this clumpy

I don't know how watery it will get, but adding water does smooth it out. A lot!

I love how it goes on dark pink, then goes white as it dries. Works well and dries fast.

It’s great that it applies pink, then dries white when ready for sanding. I HATE doing drywall, but at least with this it was a bit easier. The consistency of the “mud” is perfect! You get a lot of it too. I bought my last bottle at ACE and it costed me 2x what I paid here. I didn’t think to check Amazon for this before, but I’m glad I did. I didn’t have any issues with my bucket arriving broken, or leaking in any way. I think maybe others might have purchased during a hot streak. The heat would make it expand in the bucket, and it would rupture. So, that’s something to consider. I bought mine in early October, with temps in the 60-70s. I also noticed that this blend was particularly easy to apply compared to others I’ve used. Requires less sanding that way, which is really great. Clean up is a breeze; water and your hands will do. I will not buy any other type from now on. This will be my go to. I hope my review helps. 😊

Very easy to use, with it being pink it’s easy to see where you’ve applied it, easy to sand, and paint. Great for those little holes that need to be covered.

DryDex Spackling is a fantastic product for anyone doing home repairs or DIY projects. What I love most is how easy it is to apply the smooth, creamy texture spreads effortlessly with a putty knife and fills cracks, holes, and dents evenly without clumping. One of the best features is the dry time indicator: it goes on pink and dries to white, which makes it super easy to know exactly when it’s ready to sand and paint. That saved me so much guesswork and frustration compared to other spackling products. Once dry, it sands down nicely and blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall for a clean, professional finish. Overall, DryDex Spackling works exactly as advertised, is simple to use, and delivers excellent results a must-have for quick fixes and bigger patching jobs alike. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for reliable spackling that makes wall repair a breeze.
