So, over 40 years I've done plenty of house bashing and enough plastering to be able to do my own ceilings if they aren't bigger than 12 x 12 feet.
This time though, I had the luck to get a dollop right in the eye!.............jeez, that seized my eye up instantly. Eventually I got most out n give it a slight wash out. 12 hours later (3am Sunday morning), I had to go to hospital (pain tends to have that effect).
After 3hrs they saw me n told me that the Cornea was BURNT!!............PLASTER IS ALKALINE.... They had to wash away all the alkaline residue (there wasn't any plaster in there) to stop the burning getting worse still.
So there you go gang, it ain't the gritty bits.........it's the ALKALINE BURNING, so it's off to hospital every time. From now on I'll wear motocross goggles cos image ain't important and my eyeballs definately are!!
