Thanks to all who helped on the pouring of plaster bats issue. Now that I =
am
almost finished and have 14 of these I know and understand plaster better. =
One
thing that did work well for me was the use of a 20 inch metal kitchen whip.
This seemed to provide less air. I also added cold water instead of warm =
which
is one of the wrongs I was doing in the first place and allowing the plaster=
to
rest a bit...and I found that after pouring, the bubbles and surface had =
more
time to amend before heating up.
