Finishing plaster

[Gary2524]

Is it just me getting older & slower, or has anybody else noticed that since we've been buried in this credit crunch that the finishing plaster is going off/setting a lot quicker? I'm 47yrs old and been doing this all my life and have noticed a significant change in how quick it is setting. I'm guessing that since the building trade has been suffering the plaster is being held in the silos longer than normal before being bagged? Please let me know your opinion?

Yep, been mentioned a few times now on other posts, I thought it was me also, am not the quickest plasterer by far but a 2 bag set (domestic) can be a killer at times.
