plaster retarder for big hits

[smoothy]

Hi all ive just been shown a trick by an old school plsterer:RpS_drool:
If you mix your plaster anti clockwise ,then clockwise it slows down the chemical reaction (setting time) in the plaster. I thought he was pulling my plonker until i tried it and it worked! I now mix 6 Bags at a time in an old water butt an plod along putting the plaster onto the walls with no stress.

OMFG i have just realised that I and a few others on here could now be classed as OLD SCHOOL cos there was no whisks for a good while after i started :-(

 

[johniosaif]

First used a whisk in the early 90s, the old boys of the day were worried that it would overheat and fast set the plaster

If you urinate in the plaster it slows it down, so at weekends me and the Missis and the kids piss in bottles and buckets if I have a big hit on Monday.
Its a family activity teaching about recycling.

If you hold a spoon on the back of your neck it stops a nose bleed.
When I was a plasterers labourer back in 1923 only one spread on site had a mixer drill. Being an innovative and enrepeneurous?? young chap I showed a local welder a paint whisk and asked him to make me a large version, 8" across. I then bought him an old 110v drill and he welded the whisk into the chuck.
As word spread(pun) around the large site workmen came round to look at my whisk in wonder and awe, then laughed their nuts off when the drill started smoking like a Soho transvestite and burnt itself out. Thoooooose ...were...the...... days my friend we thought they'd never end lalalalallalllalalallalal
