Can plaster go down the drain?

NO

It hardens, settles or coats. Your drain would prefer none of those verbs.

01

Why the pipe objects

Plaster sets hard and can cure inside a trap or pipe even when the mixture initially looks thin.

02

Do this instead

Let leftovers harden in a disposable container and follow local construction-waste rules.

03

Already did it?

Stop running water; more water may carry the material deeper. Scoop or wipe up what remains and call a plumber if a meaningful amount entered the line.
