Hello....

➡Plaster of Paris is a fine powder.

Which is in dry state.

➡On contact with moisture or water it converts into hard mass of solid called plaster of Paris.

Plaster of Paris :

CaSO4 1/2 H20.

Gypsum :

CaSO4 2 H2O.

So preventing it into setting hard it should be placed in moisture proof container..
