The Bag of Plaster Powder is a sack of dry plaster mix for finishing walls. It belongs to Carpentry and base building, and it counts as survival gear.
Its one recipe is Mix Bucket of Plaster. One bag, a bucket and water make a Bucket of Plaster. That plaster coats wooden walls so they can be painted or papered afterwards.
Bags are common in garages, on construction sites and in tool stores. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Mix Bucket of Plaster recipe takes one Bag of Plaster Powder and one bucket. It also needs ten units of water poured from any container. A metal Bucket gives a Bucket of Plaster. A Carved Bucket gives a Carved Bucket of Plaster. No station or skill level is needed.
The plaster is meant for the sturdier wooden walls a carpenter builds at higher levels. A plastered wall gives a clean surface for paint or wallpaper. This turns a rough wooden base into something closer to a real home.
Quicklime fills the same slot in the recipe. It is the choice when no bags of powder are left.
Storing the powder dry is lighter than storing ready mixed plaster. Mixing just before work begins keeps the load down.

Locations
The Bag of Plaster Powder is a common find in building supply spots. Garage crates give the best odds, at better than one crate in two. Construction site storage and small boxes hold one more than one time in three. Sheds, tool stores and warehouse boxes hold one about one time in five. Studio and warehouse metal shelves are almost as good. Attics and storage rooms turn one up now and then.
