Troubleshooting

Plaster is cracking after drying.

Ensure the repair wasn't applied too thick in one go. Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to dry fully before adding the next. Alternatively, the surface may not have been prepared correctly – clean and lightly sand the area around the damage.

Plaster is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust, grease, or loose particles. Lightly sand the area to provide a key for the plaster.

Plaster is taking too long to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Avoid applying the plaster too thickly. The product is not quick-drying, so patience is required.

Difficulty sanding the dried plaster.

Ensure the plaster is completely dry before sanding. Use fine-grit sandpaper for best results. Apply less pressure during sanding.
