Something's Not Right (With This Hot Mixed Lime)

We’ve been making steady progress with hot mixed lime and filling holes in the stone walls of our utility room and we’re almost done – with this phase of this room. But we’ve been having some issues with the quicklime we’ve been using.

Join us for some less than exciting reactions and a healthy dose of timelapse as we continue on with our Portugal renovation project.

  1. Have you considered using a piping bag for liming the walls? I've seen it on a french channel where they were doing the same work. Albeit having to sift the sand(?) first to get out anything that can block the tube, the time saved was worth it!

  2. It would be easier for you to add most of your water first. Then when you hit it with the drill to mix it up, it mixes a lot easier and quicker. You should thoroughly mix it for 3 minutes after it is initially mixed. Did it for 65 years…
