    Stick a decent sized stone in your mixer and that acts to squeeze and work your mix. You’ll go through the odd mixer barrel but you’ll save a whole lot of work!

    Very interesting and informative video. I use Lime for pointing and rendering up here around the Lake District on Substrates like Slate, walling Stone etc and now having a bit of experience with it, the skill is in the prep and time, it’s a patient skill and is not a one size fits all approach. Gable ends, Church Towers and floors are my usual jobs. Your videos are some of the best I’ve seen on this subject. Thanks.

    This is what we've been using in IND for thousands of years, many temples, Forts you'll find still standing after say 1000, 2000 years or more.
    Cement is just 1000X bad for the environment. Carbon footprint is huge compared to lime mortar. + concrete's life is no where close to Lime's.
    Enjoyed the video. Lets build more with Lime Mortar again. 👍🏻

    I remember when lime wasn't available in fine agregate in bags like today.Actualy it was but it was very expensive.Then people were buying lime in form of stones and they dig hole in ground and put all that stones in it and then pour water on it and it was nasty.Later you have something like white soapy lime and you simply grab out of hole how much you need and mix with sand and you have excellent mortar which last forever.

    Bagged NHL is so much easier. I still mix by hand as you’ve more control over getting a consistent mix/colour. Also I add the mixture to water and keep adding and mixing in the bucket until I get the right consistency. Seems to be OK . I’m over half way through repointing a beach cobbled building right on the beach and exposed to North Westerlies. Using NHL 3.5 and a mix of three aggregates from Ty Mawr at Brecon. Been at it for over 15 years on and off and reckon I’ve got another 10-15000 cobbles to go!

      Longyi patented built-in 3 classifiers dry grinding machines already put into mass production.
      For limestone/dolomite/calcite
      The whole grinding system power is around 370Kw
      A.D97=4.8um (≦2um: 73.5%) Output: 1000kg/h Energy Consumption: 296Kw/Ton
      B.D97=6.3um (≦2um: 64%) Output: 1500kg/h Energy Consumption: 197.3Kw/Ton
      C.D97=7.1um (≦2um: 57%) Output: 1900kg/h Energy Consumption: 155.8Kw/Ton
      For Talc powder,
      Longyi powder grinding mill power is 250Kw, the real working power is around 200~225Kw, including classifying system.
      A. D90=10.5~10.7um output: 4 tons/hour
      B. D90=9.8~11um output: 3 tons/hour
      It is suitable for processing nonmetallic minerals such as calcium carbonate, calcite, Kaolin, clay, barite, talc, gypsum, limestone, calcium oxide, bentonite, dolomite etc.

    Fabulous video- how exciting! Chemistry at work. Our ancestors were so clever- I had no idea you could buy horse hair for lime pointing. I'm renovating an old stone house using 3.5 NHL lime for the main repairs but I suppose the lime putty would be the best sort of lime to point the stones or cover them altogether with a pigment. Thanks.

    Is the red sand a sharp sand in your lime putty mix. I wish to point a brick wall and would prefer a redder mix. If so could you tell me what the sand is and where i can get it from please.

  • @leafside

    I have just bought a very old stone and lime wall house and really want to keep to traditional building techniques which is lime instead of cement and am trying to gather as much information I can to share with the builders who of course just want to do cement!!!! Your video is super helpful but I have a question.. If I’m mixing my lime from dry powder lime, making it into a putty to then use it with a mix of sand to plaster my wall, I have to cure it for 2y (let it sit in a bucket) or, buy ready made wet putty? Thank you so much.

    If you add the lime to the water you will get boiling mix but not explosive.
