Really top workmanship from a top expert in lime really amazing tips and explains all the different methods of creating an amazing space for the stove to sit in thanks for the upload
You've been an absolute God send. The other day I watched countless videos, countless times, you may hace noticed 😆, for a good few days, perhaps a week you came everywhere with me, replaying and making sure I'd taken it all in, you are my Master Limer, what I don't know about lime now, isn't worth knowing, x♥️
I'm so glad that you have got so much from my prattling on and witterings in the videos.m, Lyndsey. Take your trowel in hand and create some masterpieces of heritage work with it! I still have a brainful of knowledge to learn about lime myself from its many thousands of years of use. As long as you took a snippet of that from me and used it usefully, I'm a happy craftsman.
If you are too keen on the finishing then the lime stains on the substrate can be a bugger to remove. It's always better to wait until the applied mortar has got to a "green hard" set prior to finishing as the carbonation process is well under way by that point. Next time, have a go at leaving it a day or two, keeping the mortar moistened and see how much easier it is to get a good finish out of the lime mortar.
Love your work. Please could we get an acid wash video? I’ve got some old, engineered bricks - all lime mortar - but I can’t get the beautiful finish after I use a lot of manual cloth wiping down.
Cheers @youdy3000. I'll keep it in mind when I next get the chemical gloves out. I tend to apply two coats of acid, ten minutes apart and leave it for 20-30 mins. A quick wire brushing and a swill with a water sprayer and it usually does the trick. Any stubborn lime patches can be treated a second time.
I have opened up an old fireplace and would like to have the granite on show with a stove. Any suggestions to get historic black burn marks off granite in an old fireplace? Oven cleaner got a lot but there's still bad staining
You could try with an acid based compound such as hydrochloric bric acid. A stiff wire brush after painting with acid does a good job of removing soot/scorch marks.
Hey Mate .i have removed a gas back boiler that was installed with a heavy single wall stainless liner years ago….could i use it with a 5Kw stove,do You think?.or do i need to replace it .its heavy spiral 316 and shame to pay over £1000 just to replace the liner.Ive just been given a quote
You would definitely be better putting a brand new 316 liner in and taking the old gas liner out. I very much doubt that the gas liner will be 316 grade as the exhaust gases from a gas boiler are no where near as corrosive as a solid fuel emission. Better to be safe than sorry @derek7384
