Wonderful video where you cover all areas of this traditional process beautifully.
shees still the best teacher on Ytube and iv watched douzains & douzains of how toos...thank you 🙏
Thank you Snow Dude. You're too kind ☺
Your welcome Erin...😊
im learning all this Lime painting stuff & Venetian plaster & Tadelakt i will be checking out your offerings on your web site and maybe order stuff...im not to far ( near Montreal Qc ) thank you so much and take care 😊
Hadn’t thought about primer- thanks
That was awesome! I can’t wait to get pigments and do this in my home ☺️😌
That's great! I'm glad the video was helpful. Just be sure to visit www.earthpigments.com/limewash to review what surfaces are suitable for this application. Let us know if you have any questions. Erin
Linda! I could paint the wall whole day with you.
Truly gorgeous!
She dresses more stylish for washing than I do for going to town.
She's just that much more hip than you brah~
Lol
Fantastic video 😍
I think she looks far more beautiful than Cher. Thanks for the video it was very informative and helpful. These kind of channels deserve to be subscribed to.
😁😀
I agree about Cher.
Hi there. Great tutorial video thanks. Beautiful job and finis by a beautiful looking woman. best wishes from Ireland. I'll be lime whitewashing my wall in a few days. Whoooooopeeeeeee.
Thanks for the video. It was nice to see with purple paint especially since it's an extremely finnicky color to match - which also demonstrates the uniformity at the end.
Thank you
what are the measurements you are using for the white wash?
I thank you for this vis. Very well done.
¿Does anybody knows if this is what's called mineral paint??
+Nikinik
The term mineral paint usually refers to a paint created using Waterglass, which is a different animal.
Have you any vids with it on brick? We are contemplating limewashing our dark brick house and would love to go with a lighter pigment.
Our pigments can be used at a much lighter ratio to create off whites. If you use the primer of 1 part lime to 20 parts water, then do at least 2 to 3 more coats you should be able to successfully cover the brick underneath. If wanting a distressed look, it is still recommended to do the same amount of coats, but distress it with wet rags or brushes, etc while applying.
what is this lime people talk around paints?
in Brazil i think it will be difficult to find.
i ll be pass like a stranger asking for it.
nice video
Where can I get a Materials list?!?!?
How do you prime an interior wall?
Help, i mixed mine with boiled linseed oil and it wont mix together with the limewash. I added oil and pigment to the limewash but it wont mix together, the oil and pigment just stays down
when you mix in the "pigment" is that paint in your choice of color? if yes, what kind of paint is required? Oil based or latex?
The color we are mixing in not paint. It is dry powder pigment. Most of our pigment colors are suitable for use in a lime wash. You can see the range of our pigment selection at www.earthpigments.com
I prefer the primer wash personally.
How do you mix an acrylic paint with your earth pigments and the gel acrylic binder you sell? Do you just combine those two or do you add water?? Thanks!
Adding acrylic to limewash makes it pretty much ZERO point in using a lime wash. First you just killed the lime's ability to breathe, and you took away the antimicrobial properties, and you now have a barrier that moisture can get trapped under. This video makes zero sense.
Can you apply this lime paint to previously painted interior drywall? When it is finished do you need to seal it with a water based varnish or anything?
Lime wash cannot be applied over previous paint. An alternative to get the look of a lime wash would be to use a professional milk paint like the product from The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Company. Our pigments can even be used in the untinted base of their product.
You can use a mineral based limewash primer. Romabio makes it, and so does Bauwerks
That looks awesome, and since when did Cher start making home improvement videos Lol..
Probably when Spotify took all her money and music~
Nice one!!! How comethe colour stayed so dark? Iuse naturalpigments,yet colours bleech out to pastel tones....
For this video we used manmade Oxide pigments. They will tint stronger in a lime wash than natural Earth colors will.

Will this process endure wet weather on a horizontal masonry surface, if I use acrylic binder?
Ray Brensike I think you shouldn’t use anything synthetic. In Mexico we add baba de nopal- the nopal goo lol
Ray Brensike well she’s using an acrylic binder- but as I said we use nopal here- guess it will work
@@RamonaRayTodosSantosBCS can you use the ground up tuna of the nopal to make a beautiful magenta color? How do you collect the baba de nopal?
Hi,
How Long in years does this Pigmented Lime paint coating lasts for?
For exterior coats, lime wash can last up to ten years depending upon how much rain it is subjected to. The more rain, the more layers one should apply for the strongest coating. 3 to 5 coats is recommended for exterior. Some people will apply 2 or 3 coats the first year then return the following year to apply more. In this way the wash builds up and over time will become harder. Lime wash is often used as a decorative coating now. It's original function was as a sacrificial coating, applied to protect the wall underneath. It would be reapplied as it wore away. In use as a decorative coating, it is best to use additional binders to enhance the longevity.
Questions about picking pigments.
Is iron oxide okay and how many grams should I put?
Are the iron oxide pigment used for cosmetics will work too?
Thanks!
Iron Oxide pigments are great for lime wash! Per kilo of lime, do not exceed 500g. Refer to our Lime Wash page on our website for more information including water ratios. Cosmetic grade Oxides might produce a different color result depending upon their particle size.
Hi, what is the ratio of lime to water for the coloured lime wash? How much time do you leave the primer for drying and start applying coloured lime wash? What if we do not use the additives for the coloured lime wash?
Our Wash recipe uses 1 kilogram of lime (about 1 1/2 qt by volume) to 6 quarts of water. You can apply the next coat as soon as the one below is dry. It should absorb the solution, not be damp so that it just sits on top. Additives are additional insurance for success, especially if adding a non binding load like pigment. However the wash can be applied without them. Just remember that once an additive is used, all subsequent coats should contain the same additive.
what binder was used?
The binder used is an Acrylic Binder used in paint formulations. You will find it here on our website: www.earthpigments.com/acrylic-binder/
Do not use the acrylic admixtures found in box stores for use in cement as this will not work. Follow our recipe for guidance on ratios in your lime wash.
Some formulae include salt (to assist mixing?) and white cement (to create a surface bond, rather than a dusty surface?). Do you know anything about these mixes? I want to cover a large shed concrete floor but am worried about the effects of salt once dried. My guess would be a primer with no salt and no cement. Adding them to the second layer. I'll just pour it on with a watering can and household floor brush if it ponds in depressions or gets too thick. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A neighbour has expensively ruined his bigger shed trialing epoxy.
Some recipes will use Alum---much better than salt. This would act as a water conditioner to facilitate mixing and would be more important with a colored lime wash. A shovel of white cement can be great as an additive with lime plasters to add a hydraulic element, but in the thin layer of lime wash it does not do much to strengthen it. Having said all of this, I would still not recommend lime wash for a floor. Lime is soft and will quickly wear down and dust off in the areas of high traffic.
does this rub off if you touch it?
+Louise L That's what I would like to know also since I've seen some kinds of similar paint that do so . . .and a lot!!!
+Louise L
Dear Louise,
If done correctly and all the necessary conditions for application are met,, the lime wash should not rub off when touched. In the first few days after application it might, so you have to wait awhile to be sure it is set.
How sure are you that the reaains will not remove that paint
Lime Wash in its original purpose was considered a "sacrificial coating". For example, a cob building would eventually erode in the rain. By coating it with lime wash on a regular basis, the lime wash would erode instead of the cob material. Lime wash is now used as a decorative coating as well. Yes, it will wear away in the rain eventually, but it will wear in a more gradual and attractive way than a latex paint would. Adding additional binders can increase the lifepsan, as can recoating in subsequent years.
Can I use Linseed oil for binder?
How many should I put if yes
You can certainly add linseed oil to lime wash as an additional binder. We prefer boiled linseed oil as it dries faster. In our recipe using a kilo of lime and six quarts of water, you could use about 1 cup. Do not put it into the primer of 1 part lime to 20 parts water as this is not necessary.
@@erinallan6371 thank you very much for replying! Been searching and reviewing Limewash for days now. But, I still have few questions.
- Should I put linseed oil with the oxide pigment to create paste then add to Limewash?
- How long should I put the next layer on, I read somewhere that it's best to put next layer after 1-2 days, What will I do to my premixed Limewash then if I wait 1-2 days each layer.
Thank you so much in advance for answering!
@@abigailtayao1306 You can certainly create the color paste using the linseed oil. That would be a good way to incorporate both. I agree that if adding the linseed oil, 1 to2 days between each layer would be a good idea as well. Lime wash is best made fresh, however if you allow the lime to settle down to the bottom beneath the water, it should be fine for a day or two. The lime and pigment will settle to the bottom and the oil will rise to the top. It will take some mixing to get it fully emulsified again.
@@erinallan6371 thank you so much, your explanation is clear and I think I'm now confident to Limewash 😁
areyou the oui in france lady 2019
I got you babe..
Almost expected a little short guy to be helping her....;-) Nice SUNNY day there...
Don't add the plazzi at the end unless you are some kind of artist love from England btw
