Does anyone ever mix lime into multifinnish IGHT]

 

[beader]

I think your barking up the wrong tree mate.

 

[moondog]

Just checking nothing wrong with a bit of the unconventional

 

[Fatarm]

For what purpose?

 

[moondog]

Usually strip old walls Victorian etc back to lathe or brick then respect sometimes take the chance on the brick walls patch in then skim on some jobs maybe hair line might appear after some time always go through the long preparing stages taping cracks bonding in etc just thought if anyone had experimented as lime may strengthen finnish

 

[spunky]

Wouldn't it make it weaker? Hydrated limes a by product it just makes it more workable

 

[moondog]

Will give it a try anyway on trial wall keep an eye on it

 

[Minh]

Are you experimenting with hydrated lime in multi finish to prevent cracking?

 

[moondog]

Yes have you tried it

 

[Minh]

Yes have you tried it

No, because hydrated lime is often added to render

When you refer to "strength" I believe that you actually mean "flexibility" instead. You might like to try hydraulic lime instead because it might make it more "flexible". However, you may find that those cracks will open up in the Summer and close again in the Winter due to the soft nature of hydraulic lime.
