Ok smart arse maybe I should have been a bit more elaborate!! does the plaster mixed mechanical wise give you more time to work it or is there no difference.? :O)

It would have helped.

No.

Once it's mixed, it's mixed. There may be a slight advantage to using mechanical, the plaster starts curing as soon as you put it it in the water, so saving a few minutes with mechanical mixing may give you just a few minutes. Generally you allow yourself more of a tolerance than that though! ..

Nice 1 thats that out the way. Now then why's me plaster look all blotchy when it's dry bearing in mind it's completly flat.

It's me missus that's mixing it but her arms too sore at the end of the night to do anything else!! :O)

It doesn't all dry out at the same rate, give it a few days with ventilation and a bit of heat and it'll all look the same. ..
