1. Tetrion is a tough all purpose powder filler. It is water resistant, smooth and permanent. It is used to fill cracks in plaster, replacing decayed wood & repairing cement based rendering.
3. Rubberized Horsehair is/was used by furniture makers to stuff seat cushions in large chairs. I think you will mostly see that in older types of chairs.
4. I think that it doesn't really matter what plaster of paris you use. I suppose you could mix it with something to make it stronger but I think that for the most part it is all the same.
