I think it was @vfr12 who mentioned the benefits of pre-mixed bagged lime products. As in if you don't know exactly what you're doing with the mix, leave it to the experts. I'm familiar enough with lime mortars to know how little I know about the mixes. We needed a mix with a pink tint to the sand, and a coarse aggregate so that it matched the original Meriden sand as closely as possible. I got the lime putty mix in 25 kg bags for ease of handling from Lime Base I re-used the original 16th century bricks and IMNSHO it looks the nuts.
The moral of this storey is, if you're not 100% on mixes and ratios for lime work, buy it from someone who is.
