I agree with pug its just a different way of wording it,
Lime Putty or Non-Hydraulic Lime is produced by slaking fresh Quicklime (Lump Lime) in an excess of water which is then left to mature for at least three months.
The resulting fat lime putty hardens as a result of exposure to the air /re-carbonation and does not set under water. This lime is often regarded as the most appropriate lime to use in the conservation of old buildings where maximum permeability is required
The Lime Putty is blended with sand to produce plasters and mortars or can be diluted to make lime wash.
