Russel asked: Did that smart person ever work it out for metric =
measurements?

The smart person is away on holiday, but I think the following is pretty =
darn close...

The US quart of water converts to 946.35 milliliters.

The two pounds and fourteen ounces of plaster converts to 1304 grams.

453.592 grams in a pound. x 2 =3D 907.184

1 ounce =3D 28.35 grams. x 14oz.=3D 396.9

1304 Grams.

So for every 80 cubic inches of plaster that you need you will use 946 =
milliliters of H20 and 1304 grams of Plaster.

Russel...if yer question was asked tongue in cheek then I took the bait, =
but learned a little in the process.

Craig AZ where 2 inches of rain overnight melted all of the =
accumulated snow in the driveway.
