Plaster of paris
There is some confusion over here. I am an interior designer and we use a lot of plaster of paris for our work. The artisans mix the plaster of paris regularly with water and I have not seen any exothermic reaction,like when we mix water with lime. I would like to use plaster of paris as an wood filler. Instead of water used to make the paste I would like to use linseed oil. Wil the the properties of the Plaster of paris change?. what are the colour absorbency properties of plaster of paris. Can we mix silica powder to the paste, to reduce the shrinkage of the paste. Kunchumvk (talk) 03:32, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
