How to delay setting time of plaster?

At first I discuss why to delay plaster setting. Delaying is invaluable in hot weather or when you have a shortage of workers, when you often need more time to work the plaster before it sets. To do this without adding harmful agent, Fritz-Pak Corporation produces a unique product Plaster Delay-Set.

Plaster Delay-Set is an additive designed to slow down the set of plaster. It will not discolor or affect final strength of the plaster. Used as directed, one bag will retard the set of plaster for about one hour, depending on temperature. Up to three bags may be used. Contains no chlorides, nitrites, nitrates or clay. It is equally effective in white or gray cement.
