Disposing of unused plaster.

[gme106]

Hi, has anyone got a sure fire way of diposing of plaster.
Not wanting to wash it away I have been letting it dry and then trying to scrape it out of the bucket. This does on occasion work fine but I tend to get bored with this very quickly and throw the whole lot out.
This is costing me dearly so any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

have you tried buying a "rubber bucket" then you could squash it a bit, then plaster will fall off. Either that or cheaper bucket, since you do not want to wash it away before it sets

Is it safe just to wash it away

it might eventually clog up your drains if it's not well diluted ........

For starters, try to mix only the amount of plaster you will use as it will start to set up. As for getting rid of the excess, scrape it out of the bucket before it sets up and place it in plastic lined garbage can and toss it. The small amount that's left in the bucket can be flushed with a hose outside.
