Using joint compound for your plaster furniture DIY probably won't work.
As 2023 saw a rise in post-modern curves and organic shapes, plaster furniture and functional sculptures became more common.
However, creators have been trying to dupe these designs by covering or crafting furniture with joint compound and paint.
Though the joint compound is easy to work with, I find that it's soft and will show surface scratches.
Furniture made with joint compound is water soluble and can be difficult to clean, as oils and liquids can become trapped in the material if not properly sealed.
A thick application is also prone to cracking, making it a terrible material for high-traffic surfaces.
