I know that some "modernized" lime washes have additives to prevent chalking. Are there any natural additives I could try adding to this method to help reduce or prevent chalking? Thank you!

Casein I believe is what you’d want! It’s a milk protein. Your walls would be no kk get vegan lol. . A big mistake we made was using lime that we got from home depot. Garden lime is not the same as something made from a carbonating lime putty!

So is there a difference in using a lime puddy vs powdered lime for making a limewash slurry?

Making the putty allows the lime to slack fully. You can also try to do some lime rendering with the extra putty but that is a different video.

Any objections to use this limewash to paint on drywall?

You know, we've never installed this brand directly onto drywall. I bet John @lancasterlimeworks would be able to shed some light. They're an incredible wealth of knowledge over there! Here's a link the their website: lancasterlimeworks.com/ Here's a link to their Lime Wash Installation Guide: h5x8w4r2.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Limewash-Installation-Guide.pdf We're also big fans of Keim Coatings. Theirs is advertised as being able to be used on drywall with no priming! residential.keim-usa.com/product/interior-limewash/?color=9298

What would be the point in using limewash on drywall there is no benefits whatsoever, its meant to be used with a lime plaster.

@@israeladesanya4596 people make the vinyl/mp3 comparison. There’s a warmth to lime washes. It’s pretty esoteric, but does exist. Some people are really sensitive to vocs and offgassing from latex paint, too!

What is lime ash used for

@GreenBuildingNetwork Жыл бұрын

We've never worked with it - i believe they use it in some ancient recipes (roaman concrete and such). Not exactly sure though!

Why avoid quicklime?

@GreenBuildingNetwork 8 ай бұрын

We’ve mistakenly used it before. I believe it’s a hydraulic lime. It stays chalky. The lime putty in the vid is carbonating, meaning it reacts with carbon dioxide to harden.
