Manipulation Affects Set

Humidity during storage

Early- Decreases, Late- Increases

Open stone storage container

Gypsum is very sus to absorbing moisture from the atm

As it absorbs water early on you get a decrease in your set time

As it gets more water and starts to reach the point of saturation, the set time increases and eventually it will get to the point where it will not set at all.

Colloidal systems – hydrocolloid, saliva, blood

All act as retarders of Set
