Great video mate. We're so lucky in Yorkshire that we have Nosterfield sand from the quarry just up past Ripon. . In fact B&Q sand around here is un riddled unwashed nosterfield. The fact it's unwashed means I don't need a pozzolan. The extra clay and dirt helps massively.
Thank you for your another educational video. I learn a lot from you. Do I have to dry slake powdered quicklime? I just pour the water in it, cover with sand and let it cook for few hours. Thank you. Best regards.
It’s in Saddleworth Yorkshire, on an exposed hill,, it’s about 400 years old, mill grid and coursed stone is in good condition apart from the gable end where it is deteriorating, removing old strap pointing

Mate, I love Nosterfield.
Oops, I said the plastering expert added grey dye to his cement mortar but I actually meant his lime mortar.

It's preferable to sand slake powdered quicklime.
@@michaeljamesdesign thank you.
U seem to be really good at lime. How much do u charge for a days work for repointing in london zone 5
Sorry, don't cover London. Try www.russetandsage.com/. He does town.
Great educational video. Where can one buy kibbled quicklime by the bag or tub? It seems that most suppliers only sell powder.
Thanks.
Have you done a Google search?

You'd have to supply me with all the information about it. Everything.

@@user-pf7qu4dr8b In which case St. A. 3.5 will do nicely. 1:3 with one of the gauges being local sharp.
Thank you
That’s not slaking it’s boiling 🥴
Needs to reach one hundred degrees before it reaches the minimum slaking temperature.
