DAP DryDex Spackling

DAP DryDex is a popular spackling compound known for its unique 'time indicator' technology, which causes the paste to go on pink and dry white once it is ready to be sanded and painted. This feature has made it a staple in both DIY and professional home repair throughout North America.

The brand is manufactured by DAP Global Inc., a company with a long-standing history dating back to 1865 when it began as a wax products manufacturer in Ohio. Today, DAP produces a wide range of caulks, sealants, and adhesives, with the majority of its production occurring in manufacturing facilities located in the United States.

Since 1991, DAP has been a prominent part of the RPM International Inc. portfolio. This parent company is a global leader in specialty coatings and sealants, providing the financial and logistical backing to maintain DAP’s position as a market leader in the home improvement industry through 2026 and beyond.
