"Question about plaster"
Love you, too
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but felt it related with Messy the most.
I recently messed around with some plaster of Paris in a non-wam context and really enjoyed the way it felt as it dried over my skin. I've got a mostly unused bag of the plaster powder now and was wanting to try and cover my whole body with it, so it could harden the crumble off of me.
I'm having trouble finding anything about the safety of this other than ensuring that I can breath, and I've already confirmed that this mix does not irritate my skin. However, I'm guessing that it's not safe inside my body, particularly any mucus membranes, so probably best not to masturbate with the paste lol. Does anyone have any experience using plaster of Paris for messy play?
I won't be using gauze or bandages with this as I want it to be brittle and break apart once it's dried.
Any advice appreciated.

I use drywall mud, also known as gypsum clay which has similar feel and weight, and the proform lite I use is non toxic. The only thing is that if it dries, you risk inhaling the dust, which is bad for lungs.
Otherwise, it is my favorite substance to use! Thick, inexpensive, adhesive and available in bulk pre-made. Mix some paint in it and you are even better off, since it prevents dusting

If you don't mind me asking, do you just mix in any type of non-toxic paint?

Safety-wise, the only major thing to be aware of when using plaster of Paris is that it sets exothermically - that is to say, it produces heat as it sets. You've probably already noticed this in playing around with it so far.
It may only have seemed warm when setting, but beware - if the heat can't dissipate, temperatures can rise high enough to burn skin. Added to this is that by the time you realise you're burning, it's too late - and you can't remove the plaster quickly enough, before the damage is already done.
There was a tragic story some years back about a teenage art student who thought it would be fun to make a plaster mould of her hands, so plunged them into a bucket of plaster of Paris. She lost eight fingers to burns, when the plaster got too hot.
So...if you do want to play with it, I would suggest using it only in a thin layer, and making sure you're confident about being able to remove it quickly if it seems to be getting too hot. And mix it before you start playing - the dust isn't great for your lungs or your eyes.

Co sign I would also suggest having someone around to help you in case anything comes up.
Paint with play and surrender

Tempra paint. Also, the clay is served cool, so no burning your body parts off. Also, masturbation and fucking friendly

--Quick Edit, just realised this was in reference to the gypsum clay not the plaster---
Could this cause issues if it sets inside the body? (trying to remove hardened plaster from the vagina/anus could be quite painful)
Plaster also gets used (illegally) in rodent control- mixing the dry powder into bait so it sets inside the rats/mice. I know you won't be drinking the stuff so its highly highly unlikely to be lethal to humans.
If you need product safety info, all the manufactures (UK/EU- probably similar in the US) need to generate an MSDS (material safety data sheet) for handling those products in a work environment. This is always available on request- usually its directly linked on the product's web page.
It is ingestible, and I would hope that anyone who plays with sploshing supplies properly clears their insides out after. Otherwise, jesus christ... you know we don't aim for infections, right?
I don't plan to ingest/insert the plaster and will mix it first with a mask on if I go through with it. The exothermic reaction is a good safety hazard to keep in mind as well as ways to keep the dust from going everywhere.
It's possible that what I have is gypsum clay, but will have to confirm that later. I don't recall it getting really hot, but still can't be too safe with it.
Thanks y'all. All this is really helpful.
