Why would you use SBR with lime. SBR has latex and will stop the wall from breathing. With lime you just wet the wall just prior to applying the lime.

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

The wall still has a great suction rate, the sbr wasn't that strong it was just to slow the job down a bit.

Does SBR stop the wall from ‘breathing’?

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

Good question, no it doesn't, it's just to slows the suction rate down,it's does the same as pva really but a better job, I would t have used pva on this wall, the first coats had to fully dry before preceding and dried good and strong.

Nice old job Mike. Thats a long drawn out process with lime plaster😳

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

It is a long old process but sometimes you just have to do it. Couldn't risk using gypsum and it looking terrible again, thanks for commenting Doug.

So was that a sand cement scratch coat and render followed by lime 1:2 plasterers sand and then lime finish

[@freethink3r]

Interesting video! What mix ratio are you using for the backing coat and top coat?

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

I think I mention it in the video.

[@jacobfreeman7427]

Did you reinforce where cracks were in the plaster or is it cracks in the mortar once the old plasters been removed?

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

We put mesh across, it was actually the mortar where the cracks where.

[@jonathanpattison5108]

that looks like cement and lime mortar to me that's not a true lime plaster

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

I can assure there is no cement in this!
How many different colours of sand have you ever seen?
