DEF

Se dit d'un plâtre qui subit une agitation tardive à un moment trop avancé de sa prise.

CONT

Le plâtre est trop avancé dans sa prise (plâtre rebattu, par exemple) : l'enchevêtrement des cristaux de gypse ne pourra se former dans les pores et anfractuosités du support et le plâtre ne tiendra pas.

OBS

rebattre : Remalaxer un plâtre ou un mortier alors que leur prise a déjà débuté (ce qui est à proscrire, car cela donne ensuite des matériaux de faible cohésion).
