Must plaster be kept wet?
Plaster contains portland cement. Portland cement technically doesn't "dry", it "cures", meaning that a chemical process causes it to harden. After the portland cement starts to "set up", it should be kept damp so that it doesn't crack or otherwise become damaged. When it's still fresh, you don't want to spray a lot of water on it, that could wash away some of the portland cement. Instead, just mist it to keep it from drying.
