[Tom Woolley]

You might find Becky Little a useful person …she is a superb clay plasterer and she seems to mention in this article plastering onto lime mortars (not the same as Limewash of course)

However, although the existing finish is quite irregular, most of the stones are covered with lime or lime wash. Has anyone tried sticking a clay plaster on top of lime? I have never done that. I am worried that over time it will fall off.
