In this Build Show episode, Lydia Crowder tests the DAP Eclipse Rapid Wall Repair Patch, initially skeptical about its sticker-like design. The product features a thin reinforced center that adheres directly over holes without traditional spackle compound. After cleaning the damaged area, the patch applies easily and requires a protective first coat followed by two additional paint layers. The results prove surprisingly effective on smooth walls with flat white paint, creating a flush finish that blends well. However, the host notes limitations with textured surfaces like orange peel, where the smooth patch would remain visible. While not as structurally strong as compound-based repairs, the patch demonstrates solid durability for quick fixes in inconspicuous areas or behind furniture. The application proves faster than traditional methods, though glossy or dark paints may not conceal it effectively.
