   Bob ,  I agree that people not experienced with quick set mixtures could
be in trouble. I have worked
with "Bondo",  epoxy, Hydrualic cement, and other fast set
mixtures and am used to there setting
times. The first time I used the Dental plaster I "assumed" it to
be like regular plaster. I did work fast
and planned ahead, but even for the experienced.. it has a very quick set
up time. If you are not
prepared you will end up with a bucket of "rock", and not real
cheap rock either....   Russ Jocoy
