Add <strong>dye<\/strong>\/<strong>pigment<\/strong> to water, then pour in <strong>gypsum<\/strong>. Calm <strong>mix<\/strong> - aerates the mass too rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long does it take to dry?<\/strong><br>It depends on the thickness and conditions, but <strong>polymeric gypsum<\/strong> allows you to move more quickly to the finishing stage than a traditional <strong>gypsum<\/strong>. Thin works will be ready faster; thicker ones require patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is gypsum suitable for contact with water?<\/strong><br>Sam <strong>gypsum<\/strong> absorbs water, which is why we use a cartridge (tube) for the vase.
