Lime is great not only for plastering walls but building houses as well. A house built with lime mortar can last centuries.
@mudness273910 ай бұрын
mind blown This is not a Tadelakt alternative. Tadelakt is a beautiful natural plaster. Soap and wax are used to make properly applied Tadelakt waterproof, while still allowing it to breath. One of the wondrous and beautiful aspects of Tadelakt is its breathability, its air cleaning properties and it the fact that it is completely natural and free from any chemicals. This plastic layer on top is suffocating your home. Also (non-hydraulic) lime cures very slowly through the presence of CO2 in the air, and happens slowly, getting stronger by the months and years. An alternative for beautiful plants and flowers in your house: plastic ones, so much easier. An alternative for this beautiful life, the Metaverse! I do much appreciate your willingness to experiment, it's cool you think outside of the box. and the video was made beautifully, so good in fact that i still watched the whole video and kind of enjoyed it..

The only caveat to this should be to highlight that the lime wall is no longer vapour permeable, so depending on the location it is uses will not allow moisture to escape in the same way as a lime plastered room would.

@@joeldickerson1104it’s not just about what people want. It is indeed critical, especially in older homes. These people will not only be battling mold and nasties beyond this plaster and waterproofed surface, but also deal with crumbling plaster down the road, as moisture builds from within and has at best only one way to go, the exterior, which is also typically coated to all hell with latex or whatever have you.

Probably worth mentioning for other people watching this - the "magic trowel" or "squeegee" shouldn't be used to apply the product - you're making the job more difficult for yourself by doing this and you'll get a faster and more homogenous application with a stainless steel trowel. The "magic trowel" is designed for use after application - to smooth out the trowel lines.

Using a steel trowel will give you a more textured look like the lime wash does. The magic trowel seems to give a more flat/matte look. To each there own, but in your case, I believe a steel trowel will save you some time as well as help you get better with it to avoid the lines it creates, which is all depends on your technique. Best of luck.

looks like I made the same comment above. Except I added that before the wall dries, to burnish and press down the plaster gives that texture he is looking for. Also you can sand the edges of the trowel so they are smooth.

Most plasters when applied to a drywall substrate require a plaster bonding/adhesive product. This limestrong product may be different, but USG's Diamond Veneer Plasters require it.

Search up Kirk Giordano's plaster videos.

well, this looks nice, but quite honestly, just so extremely rough. too rough. i think this would look A+++ class if you'd actually take the time to go and get a proper sander and use 120 grit and then 200 or 240 grit sandpaper for your first and second coat, then go up to 420 for your third coat and fourth coat, and for your fifth coat ( make sure your coats are thin ), wet sand with 1000 grit (automotive sanding). when done, wash everything down with a spray bottle with de-calcified water and a bunch of microfiber towels, and then polish the entire wall with a car polishing machine and really make it smooth. when done polishing, get proper car paint ceramic sealant, and apply this over the surface where you have water, like the shower, shower drains and the sinks and where water splashes up, including around and behind the toilet. preferably actually the entirety of the surfaces in the bathroom, as it will greatly help in reducing any chance of mold. even though proper car ceramic (paint) sealant would not need to, you could however still opt to get your hands on rain-x from the car store, and simply apply it on the shower walls just like you'd do on the car windows, just follow instructions. also behind and around the toilet, and at splash areas of the sinks. do NOT, never EVER, put it on the floors however, unless you want to slip and fall when it gets wet.
