[QUOTE="Crayford, post: 198162"] I just happened on this thread... 19th century buildings used lime plaster, WITHOUT any cement. Old materials are not necessarily compatible with modern ones, and cement has proven to be very damaging to old properties. Your walls shouldn't be primed; the plaster mix used should consist of lime putty with graded aggregate, and hair. You can mix this yourself, but it's more usual to buy it ready-mixed in tubs. It will take longer to cure but it'll last far longer than cement (and it smells much nicer as it dries!). There's no reason why it should cost substantially more than modern render. The only difference is in the preparation and aftercare; the application technique is very similar. Basically, if you're in an old property, don't allow any cement near your walls! Here are some links to check out: [url=http://www.thelimecentre.co.uk/]The Lime Centre[/url] [url=http://www.mikewye.co.uk/]Mike Wye & Associates.[/url] [url=http://www.oldhousestore.co.uk/]The Old House Store[/url] Amir [/QUOTE]
