If you’ve never used Plaster of Paris (P of P) this review could help. You have 10 min to use it before it hardens. Once it does, it can’t be revived. It’s possible, however, to add water to it before it hardens completely if you time it correctly. The product won’t return to the consistency it was when it was initially mixed but if there are spots that were missed on the first pass, adding water to the remaining material will offer a much thinner paste to finish the job. VERY IMPORTANT: Add ice cubes to the water to make it as cold as possible. This will lengthen the amount of time to use it before it hardens. Remove the ice cubes from the water before adding the plaster. Sprinkle the plaster over the water not the other way around. Allow the plaster to sink into the water. Gently move the container (a flat, disposable one) back an forth. Continue sifting the plaster tower the water. Stir gently after about half of the plaster’s been added. Aggression stirring will cause tiny bubbles to form. You absolutely don’t want bubbles. You also don’t want to add th plaster in teaspoons or tablespoons to hurry the process along. This will only create clumps that simply can’t be stirred or mashed away. Make certain the surface to which the P of P will be applied is within reach and ready to go. Don’t consider putting in a load of laundry or taking a phone call after you’ve mixed the plaster, I used it to fill holes and gouges on the curvilinear area of a mirror where the consistency had to be fairly thin. Decide in advance how you’ll apply the P of P. You won’t have time to figure it out or dash to find the right tool after it’s been mixed. The price and quality of this plaster is great. The seller is too. No dawdling!
