The work surface must be sturdy as well in order to hold plaster while it is in the drying process.\n* Next, the work surface must be damp with water in order for the cement to stick (we utilized a water bottle with a holes in the cap to spray water in a water-gun technique).\n\n== Application of the Plaster ==\n\n{{Video|SP_RcKW266I}}\n\n* Applying the plaster must be done strategically and in the right way.\n* Start with a corner on the damp work surface. This is important because the corner of the work surface provides a stable structure for the cement to stick. Working from the corner is essential as the plaster mixture will stick best to itself.\n* In one sturdy motion \"fling\" the plaster at the desired corner the plaster content may not completely stick but some will and that is the vantage point.\n* After the \"fling\" motion scrap only the beginning and end point of the applied wet plaster with the back side of the tools surface to seal.\n* It may be that not all of the product will stick in the \"fling\" motion, but some of it will. This work task takes a great amount of patience because it involves great failure before success.\n\n== Perfecting the Recipe ==\n\n{{Video|JgMPHoPK3pE}}\n\n* Application of the product will lead to essential elements needed to create a successful recipe. We had our initial mixture but because it was too saturated it was necessary to add more cement to even out the wet to dry ratio.\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n}}\n\n[[Category:Practivistas Dominicana Program]]"}
