OBSERVATIONS: |
Tradesmen familiar with the use of lime, and with experience of its successful
use should be employed. Accurate volumetric site mixing is essential.
Non-hydraulic limes do not perform as gypsum plaster or modern cement
and hydraulic lime. Non-hydraulic lime sets only by reaction with atmospheric
carbon dioxide in the presence of moisture. This 'carbonation' is a slow
process and control of the drying and setting process by 'tending' and
protecting is crucial to success and long term performance. Do not use
in temperatures of 5ºC and falling. |
