I've got a job to look at which from the clients description has not gone well at all from a previous applicator and are looking for this to be re done. I asked what products the applicator used and they said he was using stucco italiano classic with the addition of farrel & ball emulsion for the colour additive lol. As i've heard of applicators here cutting corners without using correct colour additives, (can't think why being tht the colours are only about £20 odd a tub) would i be correct in saying that in such circumstances of using an acrylic or emulsion, the lime would adulterate the additive or vice versa in going through its carbonation process to create an unstable result??
