I understand that it sometimes works quite well and others not.

Maybe plasters with lime putty work better that hidraulic lime (if so 2, 3.5, or 5?)? or bagged hidrated lime doesn't work? Maybe a coat of lime slurry is necessary as a bridge between clay and lime? or maybe...In one case I know that the lime stuck well to all the walls except the one most exposed to driving rains...on the wall most needed it failed. </div><div><br></div><div>I wonder if between us all we could do a type of survey responding to the questions:</div><div>1) Failure or Success</div><div>2) Type of lime</div><div>3) Climate</div><div>4) application process</div><div>5) thoughts or comments.</div><div><br></div><div>It would be great if we could figure out why it fails when it does!</div><div><br></div><div>thanks!</div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC TT'; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Rikki Jennifer Nitzkin</div><div>Coordinadora de la Red de Construcción con Balas de Paja</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.casasdepaja.org">www.casasdepaja.org</a></div><div><a href="mailto:casasdepaja@yahoo.es">casasdepaja@yahoo.es</a></div><div><a href="http://casasdepaja.blogspot.com/">http://casasdepaja.blogspot.com/</a></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
