Can I be pedantic about your pedantry? I don't think anyone is suggesting that houses inhale and exhale gasses when they say a house breathes. When a material is called breathable, it is widely understood to mean vapour permeable.

Surely an NHL2 is appropriate for internal plastering? Lime putty and sand would have been traditional
@michaeljamesdesign3 жыл бұрын
Quite right. I forgot all about this vid. It really needs to come down as using NHL for internal works is something I no longer like to practise. I only use it if I have a customer who wants the work pushed along a more quickly. Otherwise it's putty or hotlime. Ironically, I'm now back at Kidlington plastering which is where this video was taken.

If i drive nails in this one , or remove a but while putting in my electrical conduits, will the plaster around hold? Or will it come off from one edge and then all at once successively?
@michaeljamesdesign4 жыл бұрын
It depends on how old it is, what sand it was made with, how much hair's in the mix, how gentle you are etc etc etc.

I appreciate your efforts but can you ramble on less and refine explanations of the techniques and mechanics of products you are using . I was really interested in the Efforvescence as I have Issues with my 1976 brick house .
@michaeljamesdesign Жыл бұрын
I'm a rambler. I'd never get any TV unless it was for a stuttering idiot. Effervescence is the process of impurities leaching out of lime mortar. This is why we never use unwashed sand. Normal building sand is not appropriate because the shite workes it way out of the porous mortar. And it looks rubbish. So sand is just as important as the type of lime.
