When would one use slaked lime putty?
Slaked lime putty is a traditional material used up until the introduction of Portland Cement in the mid 1800s. It is still used in restoration work. It is a base for plaster walls, stucco, and mortar for brick work, where the final product depends on the additives used. Very fine sand and sometimes hair is added for interior plaster, where coarser sand is used in masonry.
