Nothing to do with washing brushes all plaster when drying smells I'm oblivious to it now I've been plastering for over 40 yrs

The best way to answer your question. Is the chemicals that are used in Plaster for setting the Plaster, when reacting with the water, can sometimes smell like egg or a little bit off it’s perfectly normal, nothing to worry about once Plaster is dry. The smell will disappear.
