PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

LIME PUTTY can be made into Lime Wash or it can be mixed into our plaster as Lime Gauged.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

Lime Putty can be used by either adding it into the clay during the mixing process or by brushing it across the clay surface after application; for maximum effectiveness, both methods would be used congruently:

Lime Gauging

• The addition of Lime Putty into the application system by mixing it in with the clay plaster produces a more durable surface, however, the color of the finish is lightened. Also, PlasterPlus cannot be used when Lime Gauging.

Lime Washing

• The addition of Lime Putty by diluting it with water and brushing it across a clay surface produces a finish that is brighter in color and more resistant to water.

COVERAGE:

Lime Gauging Coverage:
1 gallon of Lime Putty per 2 bags of 50 lb. or 63 lb. bags of plaster (or 1 gallon of Lime Putty per 1 bag of 80 lb. bag of Enjarre).

Note: Using American Clay Earth Plasters with Lime Putty was developed for professional use only. It can be used by trained homeowners, however, because of the issues with color, repairability and its natural properties we recommend only trained installers work with Lime Putty.
