Try to get your own copy from Lime.org. It is an interesting little booklet. If they can't help, then we will work on the problem.

The Kremer website http://www.kremer-pigmente.de/englisch/homee.htm , in the newsletter section, is claiming they have a reproduction of the brush which was used for painting lime and calcimite up to 100 years ago. It is made from vegetable fibers and designed to hold the watery mixtures better than today's brushes. In know of no further information. Is this a brush widely available in Europe? I assume it is a painter's brush, not an artists brush

A french mason would have some good stories and tales. Much of Paris exterior work was actual gypsum plaster - not lime mortar. It was cheaper and faster to slap on some new plaster every couple of years, rather than do a full mortar and cement stucco. The European mortar workers are a whole different world from Canada and the USA.
