It will be at least a couple years before we'll have a need for it,
but I want to get a jump on soaking some lime for future plasters,
etc. I was at a cob workshop this past week and was talking with the
instructor for a plastering workshop that was following and he
mentioned/recommended Graymont hydrated lime. I didn't take note of
the specifics, and see on their website that they produce a few
different hydrated limes-
* High Calcium Hydrated Lime
* Dolomitic Hydrate Type N
* Dolomitic Hydrate Type S
* Dolomitic Hydrate Type SA
* Niagara Lime Putty
* Food Grade Hydrate
* Lubricant Additive Hydrate
I'm guessing it would be S or SA.... and I seem to remember mention
of Superlimoid.....
Anyone know/have experience?
Thanks
