Old school plastering material in the modern world.
This review is from a new user of NHL lime. Using it for internal plastering on a 19th century sandstone cottage where I need to plaster on the hard. Seems very easy to use as long as you follow mixing instructions. I have used my cement mixer and a paint mixer in a drill for smaller batches with fine sand mixes. Not anymore difficult than working with OPC or Gypsum plasters other than awaiting for carbonation process. No lumps, mixes easily and so far so good but I am not likely to be around to see if it lasts as long as the existing stuff I am matching into.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Instant history...after a little mixing.
If you mix it with sharp, gritty sand, you get a lime mortar which matches older mortar in houses or garden walls built before Portland cement became the norm. It mixes well in a concrete mixer or you can mix smaller amounts with a shovel or with a trowel and a bucket. The technical notes from Hanson recommend a ratio of 1 part lime to 2 parts sharp sand for a strong mortar or 1:3 for a general purpose mortar. They also advise using lime in temperatures above 5 degrees C and below 30 degrees C, which have been common in the past winter and summer heatwave.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Strong and effective - as expected
This works exactly as required. My problem is that I can't use up the 25kg bags quickly enough - would welcome smaller bags (at no extra cost!)Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great stuff
I used NHL 3.5 to re-point a north facing stone wall. So far it has worked a treat. I used 1 part lime to 2.5 parts sand as advised and so far so good. Make sure you wet the stones generously prior to application otherwise it will lose its moisture too quickly causing cracks. It dries fairly quickly as well which is good. I hope it will withstand the harsh Derbyshire winters alright.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
