Plaster drying time
Just had some plastering done in the corner of a room. Is it necessary
to allow the plaster to dry naturally or is it alright to put a dehumidifier in there to accelerate the drying process? |

Give it a day to dry naturally before forcing it then I think it will not do any harm to put a dehumidifier in place after that. |

Just don't use a warm air blower on it. after all humidity does vary
naturally so it should not hurt to use a dehumidifier. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff... Blind user, so no pictures please!
