Any body do this to slow set down . Seem to get nice finish with it as well imo. Nice big Handful per bag of finish seem to make it hang

Never tried it. Tried cream of tartare and that worked a treat.

Tried extratime and it was hit and miss...too unreliable for us for some reason.

The half time i put in after i have put 4or5 scoup full of plaster in the water first and given it a whisk, seems to work better than just putting it in the water.

You want to try this . Be nice to know what you think. I dont seem to have to mess with plaster as much and got a cracking finish today and not had to go over it as much

 

[CeeVee]

a sachet of extratime is what you need

Use trisodiam citrate. Spoonful in a mug of hot water to dissolve. Add to mixing bucket then top up with bucket full of water and mix away.

Agreed, used it on a big tall ceiling on a hot summers day and it worked spot on.
