Plasters and interiors

The hydrated lime mortar or slaked lime is worked very easily and is mainly used to make plaster and as a binder for bricks in interiors.

The optimal proportion for its packaging is 1-3-1 that is 1 part of binder (lime), 3 parts of aggregate (sand), and 1 part of water.

If a plaster is to be made, the proportions change. If a rustic plaster is to be made, the ratio can be 1-1.5-1, whereas if a civil plaster with a thickness of a few millimeters is to be made, the ratio reaches 1-1-1.

For the dough it is preferable to combine the aggregate and the binder first, then the water in small quantities until the mixture is soft and pasty.
