cleaning bin/tools after plastering - where's the best place for the remnant plaster - bin?
 

Hi,

What's the best place to get rid of plaster cleaned from the mixing
bowl, trowel and other items - paper then in the bin or is there a
better way?

One thing I do not want to do is pour it down and drain / loo - that
would block them would'nt it?

Yes and yes.

The pro plasterer I'm using at the moment usually leaves a small pile of
surplus plaster on the floor on empty old bag to go off overnight - they
look like elephant turds - very artistic.

Personally when it's me at home I always try and clean up with a
hosepipe, and chuck the debris on the garden somewhere.

You can leave to dry in a newspaper or any kind of bag, then bin it - it's
less messy than when it's wet

Yes, skimming sets even under water.

Slop buckets and trowelling up water can be poured onto the soil - it's
mostly gypsum and is harmless....school chalk is made out of the same stuff.

I pour it over the lawn. In one place there was a dip in the lawn
where I suspect a plant had been removed, and I concentrated on
that part to fill it in. The grass grows very well in the plaster
slurry/slops.

Yes.
