Faster Plaster vs. Other Plasters?

14 years ago

How does Faster Plaster compare to other plasters? Other than a faster setting time are there any differences? I looked for Faster Plaster today at Michael's and they didn't have any. An employee said that it had been discontinued. They had plaster of paris in a bucket. Hobby Lobby, Joann's, and Walmart didn't have it either. They had different brands in cartons. TIA!

The store employee is correct that Faster Plaster is in the process of being discontinued :( Last year, I had the pleasure to write an ebook on Faster Plaster projects and absolutely love the product so I am very sad to see it go. I do have quite a few 1/2 pound packages in stock in my store at www.shop.inspiredathome.com. I found Faster Plaster to be easier to work with than regular plaster because it poured smoother, dried faster and is not as heavy which was perfect for my jewelry work - www.tiffitigraffiti.com. I also have numerous YouTube videos that my sister and I filmed on Faster Plaster - www.youtube.com/inspiredathome. How were you planning on using the Faster Plaster?
