well... i have decided to kill two birds with one stone.
one of the things we do at our university for after-hours studio access is each student who desires acces applies for a "Late-Pass." the pass is signed by the proffessor in charge of the specifc studio. when ever I want access, all i have to do is call campus securityand have them ulock both the building and the specfic studio. while i am in the studio afterhours, securioty well periodically do a walk-through of the building to make sure everything is ok. for the most part, this works out quite well.
as far as a drying table... we use plaster tables for some of the drying, however we also use a concrete slab as a wedging table. its a bit slower than plaster, but it still works and we dont have to worry about plaster bits in the clay.

Subject: Plaster for a drying table

Hello all,
This goes out to anyone who wants to answer this question. I have a
question regarding what 'type' of plaster to use for a clay drying table.
Bits of my current table are beginning to flake up and chip their way into
the clay. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD. I know about pottery plaster #1, but was
wondering, is there something stronger? That won't chip, smudge, flake or
dust it's way into the clay????
Recommendations?
Thanks to all who respond,
