I’m applying it 3/8” at a time. All the old historic material I’ve found says 3/8”. I’ve been a half inch in spots and it stills bonds to the wall well. It’s a solid mix but just not easy to spread evenly.
The lime putty I’m using is aged 3 months. It’s actually around 4 or 5 months now since...
I’ve been using quikrete all purpose sand. It’s a very strong mix. Hardens real good from what I can tell. I did a test area about a month ago and it’s hard as a rock.
So I’m in the United States. I’m using a lime/sand/hair mix. Lime putty is from US heritage. 1:3 mix seems to sandy and is hard to work with. Am I just not adding enough water? Or is lime plaster much harder to work than gypsum?
