What are ideal working temperatures for plastering?
50-80 degrees Fahrenheit. In the warmer months all working areas should be kept at around 70 degrees. As the plaster starts to set, it gives off heat, increasing room temperature by another 10 degrees. In the colder months the temperature should not drop below 50 degrees. Keeping the room within this temperature range will allow the plaster to dry properly and will prevent it from cracking due to excessive cold.
