Seems like LIME PUTTY should be protected from freezing.  But I can't 
think of a link just this moment.


Yes Kim & Amanda, you can stack bales of other insulation around drums, 
to prevent freezing, but  plaster should be put on over 40 deg in any 
case...

I herard from a lime expert that lime can freeze in the drum, but one it 
thaws it is ok...lime putty cures by AIR carbonation, not water, so hope 
this helps...
