Dear Admin
Use fresh lime at least one year old (preferable more). Force it with a puddler through brass sieve of about 50 mesh, mix with small amount of distilled water. Apply like usual fresco color, do not hasitate to use it more thickly in kind of a paste form, it dries like lime and stick to the intonaco. My advise is to use white generally in the end of the giornata because it presents its whitness beter at this stage and you can see what you are doing. After few hours roll over it with a glass bottle with light pressure.
Good luck
