Dino: What is the pot life of D-Mix w/ the PoP in it? I have half a bucket in that condition. Been 4 days since the PoP was added.

Don.
Your D Mix can last for a week? My D-Mix only last for 2 days.
I use more plaster of paris.
Is all about how much POP (plaster of Paris) and how much primer you're using.
One thing that I can say is that you have to mix according to your needs and to your plastering capabilities.
Play it safe. And as you learn the system use more and more plaster of paris.
Don. I was only joking with you and blue.
You guys are becoming D-Mix monsters.
Dino: Thanks. I found that I had better results w/ the greater amount of PoP. Worked out smoother.We had never specified how long it would stay useable in the bucket. Guess I'll just toss the batch I have now. Better that than to smear on a bunch of trash.Dino, you're nicer than some of these guys. Downright gentle. Think nothing of it till you insult my wife. THEN you'll have a fight on your hands.DonThe GlassMasterworks - If it scratches, I etch it!
