[Cob] hydraulic lime plaster question

[Taylor Publishing-DirtCheapBuilder]

Does anyone know about using hydraulic lime plaster on cob walls as 
opposed to hydrated lime plaster??

Cassandra  where are you planning to use it in the US?
I know about using both. Hydraulic lime is dry and is mixed with water 
and used immediately, it sets up like cement ( cement was invented to 
mimic hydraulic actually)

There are a few sources in the US..St. Austier limes have a rep on each 
coast. and one in NE (deGruchy Masonry)   these limes are from France.

Texston is hydraulic and cement added limes improted from Israel.

this lime will stick beautifully to cob, adobe, cement, straw etc...it 
is just pricey, but gives a fast early set. Ideal for late season use, 
or wher the first coat needs to begin protecting right away.

Hydrated lime will also work beautifully, and costs far less...you owuld 
limewash the walls  eaither way, before applying lime plaster, and thin 
coats of hydrated plaster will begin to air cure quickly too. but time 
is needed  (month) between coats for better results.
