Cob: lime and pozzolansAmanda Peck ap615 at hotmail.comThu Jan 30 22:37:15 CST 2003
Pozzolans is the technical term for the additive. Rice husk ash is one. BUT I winced when I heard them talking about quicklime. Charmaine will undoubtably chime in with information here. Well aged lime putty is the usual base for lime creations--and truly well-aged can be generations, not hours, days or weeks. Quicklime is DANGEROUS! Here's a random link: http://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/pozzo/pozzo.htm "Materials which enable lime mortars to set more rapidly include ash and brick dust. Known as 'pozzolans' after the volcanic additives used by the Romans, these materials are widely found in the lime mortars used in old buildings and monuments." Cat and the rest of us want a roman bath! And the friends nearby to help us use it. And someone else to do the work of maintaining it. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
