Quick Temporary Solution

So this was exciting to try. At first glance, it's foolproof. OK, it mostly is. But there are a lot of cons that come up during the entire experience: 1. Cost-prohibitive 2. You can still see the outline of the patch 3. The environmental impact can be too high to ignore. This product is pretty wasteful 4. You guys, it may not "break", but it certainly gives... and it's weird to not have a solid wall all the way through. Even if it's 5x stronger than regular drywall... the fact that it gives... makes me question if the adhesive and or the patch itself will truly last. Plus, if the paint is chipped/scraped off... you get to see the hole that is hiding behind a bit of clear plastic. This product is a miss for my family.

Works but not perfect

#gotitfree. I got a DAP sample in the mail to try out. I received three sizes and picked the one rhat was closest to my hole. When we got the house not all the doors had door stoppers, and having young kids we got the wall behind damaged quite soon after. This sample was perfect for that issue so I was really excited to try it out. We opened the packafing and we identified the right size patch and followed the instructions on the package. It was straight forward and the finished result was good. For a house with no small kids might be more suitable, as the edges of the patch is a bit visible on the wall. As soon as my kids discovered it, they couldn't stop messing with it and thwy managed quite easily to poke a whole in it and peel one a bit the edge. Overall I would recommend, as mentioned works well, but not children proof as it is not a perfect blend. Would probably buy.

Easy as 1,2,3!

If you have a small or dent in the way and want to patch it up before painting, this is the product for you! Quick and easy and not complicated! Anybody can use this!

Not bad

I live in an old house with old gympsom drywall that makes it hard to patch with new drywall because it’s thinner so I was super excited to try this! This product isn’t bad but it’s not perfect. I used it as instructed, one coat of paint > remove the top piece of plastic (this was easy to remove!) and then two more coats however you can still see a faint outline of the patch. I’m definitely no drywall expert and chances are if I did a patch the normal way you could probably tell as well. Overall if you are looking for something to cover a hole and don’t want the hassle of drywall/tape/mud/tools then this might be a good option for you. You can’t tell from a distance that there is anything there. However, if you are a perfectionist and you look up close, you’ll be able to tell that there is a patch. I would give it a 3.5/5.

Not a fan

I really wanted to like this product. The idea behind it sounds wonderful but I used two different patches on two different places and both of them were a flop for me. The instructions were easy to understand and again I like the concept . Unfortunately they didn't work well. You can see the outline on my wall even after three coats of paint.

Quick and easy, just not happy with results

Just got the chance to try DAP Eclipse Rapid Wall Repair Patch for free in exchange for my honest opinion. First off, it was definitely quick and easy to use! Just peel off the back, stick it over the hole, paint, peel then paint a few more coats. Only problem is my husband and I both can see the outline of the patch on the wall. Maybe if we had used a roller as suggested and not a brush we would have had different results?

Great for something in a quick pinch

This product is great if you need a fix for your wall ASAP but doesn’t hide everything. We used to patch a hole behind the door from doorknob hitting it. Applied like the directions said, it just seems weird that you can paint right on the patch sticker without any drywall compound or spackle. You can unfortunately see the patch pretty clearly.

So so

Got the chance to try this for free. A bit disappointed that it did not give a smooth finish but it will do. Maybe we should try to do it again. #CHICKADVISOR #DAPECLIPSE #dapcanada #diywithdap

Fantastic for quick fixes

This product is so great for those without handy skills and/or need a quick fix for damage done to a wall. After trying it out, I could still see the outline so it's not seamless work. However, I appreciate that this is super easy and quick to use!
