[QUOTE="Ronald Etherington, post: 551676, member: 37664"] Thank you for the comments. I have a moisture meter but it is calibrated for wood - there is help online in the form of a rough indication of what the wood readings mean when used with plaster. However this moisture meter shows the same 'ticking up' display as the multi meter. Since I am comparing readings over a period of time either instrument will suffice but I was hoping that an insight into the ticking process would help me understand what is going on. The reason I have nails driven into the wall is so that the measurement is not just the surface and also to ensure the readings are taken from the same place every time. [/QUOTE]
