If you want to slow the setting of plaster, just add some vinegar to the water you mix it with. Adding patching plaster or bonding plaster will give a rougher texture and slow the setting time too. Using a wire brush can give a good rough but striated surface (drag horizontally) once the plaster is very nearly dry.

Enjoyed the video, interesting watching another method of producing the rock faces made from plaster I had gone down the carved insulation foam route.

Extruded polystyrene (styrofoam) is only available from very few suppliers in the UK. (none of the DIY stores). Might I ask you to share the name of your supplier, folks can then inquire if they will post!
