Dap 10310 Plaster of Paris Tub Molding Material, 8-Pound, White

The plaster is excellent. Great value, good workability. It's exactly like you'd expect.*However* Amazon's shipping job leaves much to be desired. The lid pops off during shipping (A single wrap of table would stop it, but only its snap-cap holds it on.) I do not fault Dap for this - a snap lid is normal for these and it works great when you buy it in a normal physical store. I do fault Amazon for the packing job. A simple bit of cushioning would stop it popping off, or shipping it in a box labeled with "This way up" or " fragile"... maybe even both those labels!I'm still giving 5 stars even though both the first and the replacement tub Amazon sent popped open. This is because the bad packing job is not Dap's fault, and Amazon did a simple "we'll send you a replacement.... keep the broken open one." return process, which was welcome. I'm not going to report the second tub also breaking open because I feel I have been made whole by two partial containers for the price of one full container.

Love the container, much better than the milk carton or sand bag options. I thought this was a really good deal too, 10 bucks for the 8lb tub. Great! Be careful though, some other sellers are selling the 4lb tub for twice what this costs and I think they are hoping people don't notice it is for only 4lbs... This seller was solid though. I love this stuff so much I've come close to powdering my pancakes with it on several occasions. Delicious?!

Got it on sale, so good price for this one. Lots of uses and great buy for my DIY projects.

My item was delivered in tip top shapen spillage anywhere. The product itself was good it just takes a VERY long time to dry.

Easy to work with

This plaster of Paris is wonderful for making projects for children. It also teaches them to be quick with forming their creations before it hardens.

It's plaster, what else is needed?

There's nothing to say about Plaster of Paris. It's perfect at what it does. I'm using it for mold smoothing for casting.But please pay attention to this and the other commenters (which I should have done) and order it in another packaging. The top comes off in transit.I had other stuff in the box which was fortunately just iron mold forms. But if I'd had my usual array of electronic components they'd have been ruined.I figured the other commenters were just "unfortunate flukes, that would never happen to me."It's frustrating as...can be. But, for the price it's not worth pursuing. Probably 1/3 pound of it was just all over the inside of the box.I decided to take the picture as soon as I pulled the lid open (having seen powder on my front porch.) I'd have taken another shot when I finally figured out how much had spilled. But by then my hands were covered in the stuff and I didn't want to get my phone all gummed up.
