no pop does not dissolve in water.. because gypsum is treated with water ..it follows two steps
1. setting step
2. hardening step
for hardening H2o is added.then ultimately if the water harden the gypsum , it cannot be dissolved using water ..
but Can be dissolved using chemicals
Lime can interact with hard plaster, particularly if the plaster contains gypsum. Lime can cause the gypsum to dissolve over time, leading to degradation of the plaster. However, pure cement-based plasters are generally resistant to lime, and the dissolution process is slow and may not be significant under normal conditions. Overall, while lime can affect plaster, the extent of dissolution depends on the plaster's composition and environmental conditions.
"I think vinegar is supposed to work.Lawren1The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (65th ed. Special:Booksources) lists plaster of Paris (calcium sulphate half-hydrate, CaS04.1/2H2O) as soluble in acid, ammonium salts, sodium thiosulphate (Na2S2O3) and glycerin."I am so surprised that so many people on so many forums, obviously don't have a clue about the chemistry of plaster of Paris. I read in so many places things like "uh, try some kind of acid..."So I have a lot of concentrated chemicals on hand and did lots of experiments with all kinds of acids, both dilute and concentrate, under many conditions and determined that none of my dozen or so acids dissolve Plaster of Paris in any way, but sometimes make it harder.The chemicals which dissolved plaster of Paris are on the basic end of the PH scale, not acid. I first had some success with potassium cyanide, but what really worked better than anything is Sodium Bicarbonate. Makes sense. The sodium in baking soda hooks up with sulfur in the plaster, and the carbon hooks up with the calcium in the plaster.TO BEST DISSOLVE PLASTER OF PARIS PLACE IT IN WARM WATER WITH LOTS OF BAKING SODA.Don't use any acids or it will only defeat the process.Now what really amazes me is that the answer is so simple and safe, and surely some people must know it, but it apparently cannot be found on the internet, until now.Or you can chisel it away because it is soft enough to do so.
No, adding dirty water to mix Kal-Kote plaster can negatively affect the final quality and appearance of the plaster. It is recommended to use clean, potable water to mix the plaster for best results.
- Sand does not dissolve in water- Plastic does not dissolve in water- metals do not dissolve in water
When dirty water is mixed with plaster, it can affect the setting time and consistency of the plaster. The impurities in the dirty water can weaken the plaster mixture and result in a lower quality finish. It is best to use clean water to ensure the plaster sets properly and maintains its strength.
Plaster of Paris dissolves in water by forming a suspension of particles called a colloid. This happens because the water molecules penetrate the gaps between the plaster particles, causing them to break apart and disperse in the water. This process can be reversed by allowing the water to evaporate, leaving behind the solid plaster material.
Yes, so the plaster will need some type of water-proof coating. If you are carving something from a plaster block, moulding something out of plaster, or even using a pre-made plaster object, the only way it will not slowly dissolve in the water of the snow globe, is to make sure it is totally covered in some type of water-proof finish. I'd use a minimum of 2 coats to make sure. If there is even a small break in the finish for the distilled water to get under, your finish will begin to peel and the plaster will break down there.
When you mix plaster and vinegar, a chemical reaction occurs that causes the plaster to dissolve and break down. This results in the formation of calcium acetate and water. The plaster will lose its hardness and structural integrity as it dissolves in the vinegar solution.
No
To liquify hardened plaster, you can add water to the plaster and mix it thoroughly. Start by breaking up the hardened pieces into smaller chunks to facilitate mixing. Gradually add water while stirring until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. If necessary, you can heat the mixture slightly to help dissolve the plaster, but be cautious not to overheat it, as this can alter its properties.
If plaster is put on a water balloon, the plaster will absorb the water content from the balloon, causing it to harden. This can result in the balloon deflating as its water content is absorbed by the plaster, leaving behind a hardened plaster shell in the shape of the balloon.
you get plaster water in other words putty
You drain the water then plaster the walls from inside

Pool plaster in generally not affected by cold water, cold water above freezing of course.
