Thanks to that which eternal of you Phil.
It was hot and humid yesterday am when I made plaster in cottling boards according to the usual formula it’s like a 45 minute level of humidity but more than 40 hours later! Came here to a good reliable source to solve the mystery

Thank you, Sir, for your videos. They are a source of daily learning for me. I am from India and have a background in chemistry. Presently, I am exploring the world of ceramics.

I feel a great loss and have cherished Phil's knowledge. I lost my kindred spirit that I never physically met.
