Is there a way to stop the plaster bats from making a white powder and
does this transformation hurt the plaster in anyway? I am sure there
have been posts on this one before.

Hi Llewellyn,

The powder is just soluble salts which the plaster absorbed from the
clay and water. It won't hurt anything, just brush it off.
