Hi from the US

[tta2]

Hi to everyone. I'm from the US, and hope to learn about materials and techniques for lime plastering. Plastering is almost a dead trade here, and what little is done is almost exclusively gypsum. I hope to learn a lot.

Best hope Trump builds the wall in block work and then needs rendering then.

Welcome mate - what part of US?

I'm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Mostly rural area ("Amish country") with a few small cities around. Lots of old stone and brick buildings left in this area (well, "old" as far as the US is concerned; late 18th century onwards).

Welcome from Ireland.

The UK c**t's don't know f**k all about plastering rendering. U need to be looking at European countries for good tips. 91 half% of the English plasterers can only skim.

Bauwer Light can be used instead of Lime.

Just saying like.

Ps lidl do excellent mixers.
