Always follow the 'Plaster to Water' sequence. Slowly sprinkle 2 parts of Paint Master Gypsum Plaster powder into 1 part of clean water. Let the dry powder absorb water naturally for 1 to 2 minutes, then stir thoroughly with a low-speed mechanical paint mixer to achieve a uniform, lump-free paste. Never add extra dry powder into an already setting mix, as this disrupts the chemistry and reduces the pot life.

No, it is entirely self-setting. Unlike sand-cement surfaces which must be sprayed with water for a week, Paint Master POP locks in its hydration matrix naturally, saving thousands of liters of water and speeding up painting timelines. Allow the surface to dry naturally for 2 to 3 days before applying any finishing coats.

The product features a standard shelf life of 3 months, which can extend up to 6 months if stored in its original, sealed bag under proper conditions. Bags must be stored on elevated wooden or concrete dry platforms under cover, following a 'First In, First Out' (FIFO) usage model to protect the plaster from ambient air humidity.
