Break up the leftovers to use as rubble. Can never have too much rubble.

Hi Reece, I usually use the leftover plaster for rubble. What's left from my pour I just let dry, and take a hammer and smash it all up, and throw it into ziploc bags for later. A tip too, I'll usually add some craft paint into the water before adding to the plaster powder to tint the plaster...also I've found for adding strength, I mix tile grout colorant to the water and mix thoughouly, it's almost like a cement, and although it weighs the plaster down, it does increase the strength.
Cheers,
Kelly

I hear it tastes like Tofu, how about a stir fry?
