Do I need to prime the surface before applying the plaster?

It is generally recommended to prime the surface before applying the plaster, especially if it is a porous surface or if you are applying the plaster over existing paint.

How do I store the remaining plaster?

Store the remaining plaster in a cool, dry place with the tub tightly sealed to prevent it from drying out.

Is this plaster suitable for large repairs?

Troubleshooting

Plaster is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. If the surface is too smooth, lightly sand it to improve adhesion. Apply in thin layers.

Plaster is cracking after drying.

Apply the plaster in thin coats. Ensure that each layer is completely dry before applying the next coat. Avoid applying too much plaster at once.

Difficulty achieving a smooth finish.

Use a clean filling knife and apply the plaster evenly. Lightly sand the surface after drying to remove any imperfections.

Plaster is drying too quickly.

Ensure that the ambient temperature is not too high and avoid applying the plaster in direct sunlight. If necessary, you can lightly mist the surface with water before applying the plaster to slow the drying process.
