Normally great product for patching small areas of wiring channeling and the like. However the last two bags I 'called and collected' at the beginning of June had use by dates of 6th March and 29th March - three months out of date! I wondered why the guys was so keen to load them into my vehicle and given that it's an hour round trip to return them, it will be quicker just to take them direct to the dump. No paperwork supplied or appeared on my online account either so not sure what comeback I would have if I'd bothered returning them. OK there are supply problems with Covid but these would have be out of date before the lockdown started and they should have pointed out the dates as a minimum and sold them as discounted stock, like Wickes do. I have a simple rule business rule - if people stick me, they only do it once. I won't be going back.
So check the dates on your bags of plaster!

Does what it says. Patch repaired an area of wall which was quite thick. Although it took a few days to dry thoroughly due to the depth of the repair, it has left a good finish.
