I have been in contact with Harry Francis, retired of the National Lime Association. He has told me the booklet is no longer available. Please give a fax number or address by private email and I will send a copy.

Harry has also offered some improvements to the recipes, for example you can use skim milk instead of casein and water, which I will also include. He also kindly advises that formaldehyde is no longer available.

I'm sure he won't mind me mentioning that there is a new lime paint going to hit the market that is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, yet non-toxic to any higher life forms. He says that it will kill germs but not worms for example. It is interesting that it works by blocking the lime from absorbing CO2. Straight lime is highly anti-germ, until it recarbonates, and then it is as the same as limestone or marble.

Lets share recipes and maybe write a new booklet on whitewash and cold water paints. It is about time someone promoted something which is beautiful and of benefit to the environment. It is still the only paint to use in damp areas such as basements, etc.

Ilia - this booklet is eight 8 1/2" pages, folded in half. Any way you can use it on this site? I could scan.
