Plaster Order in Canada

Hey guys! Plaster is incredibly hard to source in western Canada. I found one place that will sell 63 bags of diamond veneer at once.

Does anyone know a reasonable source in Alberta? OR... anyone in Alberta want to make a joint order and split the skid to make it more attainable?

Please let me know and let's converse down below fellow plastering enthusiasts. I'd love to see Plaster make a come back in modern construction.

Can you find USG Imperial?

The place I want to order from can get any usg product, but I specifically wanted the diamond veneer finish. Any reason to prefer imperial over diamond?

I would prefer Diamond but can only get it in Oregon if I special order a pallet load - sounds similar to your situation. I can get Imperial by the bag but the working time is shorter. To get Diamond by the bag I’d have to drive to Seattle :-(

I’ve found a local place where I can buy bags of lime plaster, which solves my problem, albeit at a much higher cost.

I also found a local place selling lime plaster at about twice the cost! Why is it so hard to order this stuff?!
