I guess the title says it all. The plaster guys finished about an hour ago and started filling the pool with two of our garden hoses.
They mentioned that rain may leave yellow streaks in the new plaster. Is this inevitable? Is it a stain that can be dealt with?

Any way to prevent this from happening? :cry:

It's supposed to rain on and off for the next few days......uhg.

No, he didn't. (He actually told my wife.)

I called the GC who brought him onto the project and he said not to worry.

I'm guessing acid rain might discolor the brand new plaster in some instances.....????

Fingers crossed that a beautiful job stays that way.

I hear you. To be honest he didn't speak great English but did a beautiful plaster job. (I'll have to post before and after pics)
We did get a spot of rain early in the evening but as of this morning there were no ill effects.
Feeling better this morn. Now two weeks of brushing the walls.

You only need a couple of hours for the plaster to setup before it is safe from rain. Hard rain right as they finish can ruin the plaster, but even after just an hour you are usually alright, and after three or four hours you should be totally fine.
