Have a look through the detail of PointP on line :

http://www.pointp.fr/pp_catal_V1/jsp/CataArticleV1.srvl?art_nat=1178563&tag=US4

The link as posted looks like skimming plaster as they quote coverage in gms per square metre.

Also the Varal Platre manuel fiche shows a time of about 50 minutes.

I was originally going to post that friends have had more success with 'Mechanical' plaster which also has a longer drying time.

Hope this helps

hi i have used the stuff here in uk if you mix with a drill too much you send it off so the moral of the story is add water add powder and mix as as quick as poss just dont over mix it,if trowel is new the heal and toe will be too square, sounds a bit brutal get angle grinder and round edges,my floating trowel and my skimming trowel were the same size when i brought them skimming trowel is now halve the width of floating trowel the secret of plastering is all down to the trowel,and dont put too much on at a time.
