When you say how many hits you do regardless of how many bags for now, do you lads include closing in as the same hit or not?

Hello bruce ive tried many ways of mixing plaster whether it be undercoat plasters or onecoat or board or multi- finish many plasterers work from the bucket as do many from the spot as for setting times well we all know if its in the bucket or on a spot board once mixed it has to be applied as quickly as possible i honestly think theres no difference at all in the setting time.I do think tempretures play a big part in the setting times like colder months the curing lasts longer than in the warmer months out of curiosity i might mix up some plaster and see which sets the quickest on the spot board or in the bucket in theory it should set quicker on the spot because more of the plaster is exposed to the air but me physics are a bit rusty at the moment i do have a plasterers bath for undercoat plasters selco sell good ones made from polyprop cheers jimfish.Bruce Willis said:All that bending! Doesnt air get in those gorilla tubs making the gear go off quicker? In fact when I ve worked out of a bucket I think its always gone off quicker.
