This review is from: Dap 10312 Plaster of Paris Exterior 25-Pound (Tools & Home Improvement)
I'm using this product to plaster over whatever's left on the kitchen walls. I knocked down some cheap tiles that peeled off in places and scraped off all the mastic I could. It adheres very well, but it sets within TWO MINUTES. I have very little time to work with it. If you plan on repairing walls with this, or plastering walls at all, and you need some time to spread and work it with texture, you'll have to add something to it. I've read that vinegar or lemon juice will slow down the reaction, but I haven't worked out the right amounts yet. Do your homework before you try it. Otherwise, it mixes quickly with a drill-powered mixer and adheres very, very well. Remember, it doesn't dry; it cures. Do not use it for casts!! The reaction is exothermic and will burn you very badly. Also, Home Depot recommends adding lime powder. Haven't tried it yet. For as simple as this is to mix, buying the stuff in the tub is ridiculous for anything but spackling.
