The best video on lime plaster I have watched. Thanks for the video

It looks so good, especially when you are putting it on above that window.

Very nice information . there are very few people like you . God bless long life to you

love seeing the natural lime plaster ... great health benefits when done on the interior. the mesh is perfect for outside. ( for inside it's best to use an adhesive .. like larson's plaster weld .. its pink so you can really see the coverage well ). .. you can do plaster over wood lathe, metal mesh, or gypsum OR magensium oxide board . excellent choice because its very flexible and self healing. thanks for the video !

Great video mate, there is a lot of information where people don't differentiate between hydraulic and hydrated lime. So great you told us which you were using, I wish we could get hydraulic lime (NHL) in the US, but it's pricey.

nice work

Do you do the process of "knocking up" where the sand and given amount of lime putty are beaten until the calcium binds to the sand? It starts out pretty dry but after the process of beating it for 20-30 minutes, if done by hand, will become more workable. You can also do it with a mortar mixer. You do this instead of adding water to get the right consistency. This is the traditional process apparently and will make a stronger plaster. Adding water can make it weaker and the process of knocking up will make the chemical process go better and bind better.

Thanks for teaching us.Im going to try it.

Great job and thanks for sharing! Can you/should you, paint the finished surface and with what type of paint? There are many types of concrete color dyes, that might be an option.

Limewash

Gud job,,what is the curing of lime plastering?it is curing like cement plaster that wetting after applying plastering two or three days or lime plaster no need wetting??

Hi, for indoor lime plastering, does one usually apply another layer of pure lime putty on top of lime plaster ? If so, is it for a smoother finish or for better durability or both ?

Good question. It would be great if somebody who knows what they are talking about answered it. I thought someone would just apply 1 layer inside or outside. It seems like the second layer would not have enough to grab a hold of even with that scratch.

Can you put lime plaster onto a painted drywall? I’m looking to use a limewash finish but I need to plaster over an existing painted wall for the limewash to stick

Just guessing here, but I'd say no. I think drywall and plaster are mutually exclusive. It's probably one or the other, not both at the same time. Again, just a guess.

Isnt it much stronger if you also add cement to the mix? All the stucco/plaster Mexicans in AZ all use a cement based plaster with lime added. Ive never seen any stucco/plaster crew ever use just lime/sand. Seems like it would be far less durable?

@@off-gridhomesteading7269 hydrated is partially slaked quicklime that you can slake with water to putty, in 24 hours, its less reactive so therefore safer to use. Quicklime is for hot mixes. Putty is made from quick or hydrated. NHL is completely different and can't be slaked to a putty.

any hardware store or garden center. look for "hydrated lime" its the same stuff people put on their garden soil to correct soil pH. Its usually rather cheap. where I live 20kg (44pounds) costs 12$

Cannot stress the importance of eyewear and protective equipment as lime will burn the body. Looking at the tennis shoes, I've known of young apprentices getting lime burns on their toes due to this practice when the shoes get wet.

It`s extremely important to wear safety gloves and glasses. I even use a plastic shield and safety glasses together. As the saying goes - better safe and sorry.

Goat hair not plastic fibres. Don't use it with metal either its a strong alkaline.

You don’t need to scratch if lime on lime.
