How to Store Spackle
If you know how to store it properly, one container of spackle can last for a lifetime. Here’s a way to keep it in good condition for your future home improvement projects: Cover it with Saran wrap before sealing the lid. When you’re done using spackle and ready to store it, place a layer of plastic wrap directly over the spackle’s surface, ensuring it comes into contact with the product. Then, secure the lid tightly over the plastic wrap.
This method creates an airtight seal, preventing air exposure and moisture from affecting the spackle’s consistency over time. It helps keep the spackle from drying out or becoming less usable, saving you the frustration of dealing with clumpy or hardened spackle when you need it for your next project. So, the next time you’re tackling a home repair task, remember to protect your spackle with Saran wrap for long-lasting usability.
