Went into Wickes and bought a bad of Thistle Multifinish.
As I picked it up off the pallet which had been delivered
sometime in the previous couple of hours (wasn't there
when I went in earlier), I noticed it was warm. Initially
I thought it might have been standing in the sun, but on
further investigation, the bags in the middle of the
pallet were actually much hotter. I guess it must have
been delivered very shortly after coming out of the
kiln (or it's all got wet and is going off, but it was
bone dry;-)

Does this Multi-Finish Plaster contain Lime? Is it true that if you
compress lime hard enough, it gets hot? Some kind of reaction with pressure
and chemicals I think.

I doubt it

I suppose so on a cosmic scale, but not on this scale

Yes its the chemical reaction of production which I don't know the
details of but it means that you have lovely fresh gypsum

That's what it is. Loverly fresh Gypsum stuff. :-)

I occasionally see warm plaster etc in out B and Q.

If its warmer in the middle, then its very fresh and not yet
cooled down from manufacture.

I've noticed the same with bags of cement, also from Wickes.

It's fresh from the manufacturer. This also happens with cement.
