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? |

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. David |

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

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. One thing I do not want to do is pour it down and drain / loo - that would block them would'nt it? Yes. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |
