What Customers Are Saying

The plaster sets up quickly, typically within 6-10 minutes, making it well-suited for patching holes, cracks, and other small repairs. It can be used to create a smooth, seamless finish when repairing plaster or drywall, and is easy to sand down. The plaster is also popular for arts and crafts applications, such as making molds, statues, and distressed paint finishes. However, the fast setting time means it's important to work in small batches to avoid waste, and mixing the right consistency is crucial.

Good product.

Would Recommend

It's exactly what it said, and set up very nicely. Didn't like the lid very much, hard to open.

Great Stuff

Would Recommend

I was told by some guys who painted my house to use this instead of the other premixed stuff you can buy. They were right, it's super easy and dries quickly. It also doesn't go bad like the premixed stuff and cheaper. I've been doing a lot of home remodeling and bought the bigger container. Once you get the mixture right, it's super easy.

Mix small amounts

Would Recommend

It works great when you’re in a rush and want to paint the same day, or need to match a textured ceiling or wall in an older home with plaster. It’s not joking about the 6-10 min set time. I ended up mixing half a cup at a time to fix cracks and match a ceiling texture.

Reliable and Fast-Setting Plaster

Would Recommend

used the 8-lb 30-Minute Set Time Plaster of Paris for some quick drywall and ceiling repairs, and it performed exactly as expected. The setting time was right around 25 minutes, which gave me enough time to work with it before it hardened. The consistency was smooth and easy to mix, and it adhered well to the surface without excessive shrinking or cracking. One thing to keep in mind is that once it starts setting, it goes fast—so mixing small batches is best to avoid waste. Overall, this is a g...
