I too would be very interested in seeing the various recipes listed in the book, and the applictions for each of them. I'm still not clear on the advisability of using ANY organic constituent in mix intended for exterior surfaces. Copying a few of the more useful ones into an email or posting here would be a great service.

I'm restoring a 200 yr old springhouse on our farm and just whitewashed one of the walls following the recommendations of the Danish web page on whitewashing techniques. I love the way it turned out and the fact that it is quickly acquiring some "character" of its own (i.e. pollen-laden rainwater running off the tarp causing a lovely yellow stain on my day-old wash job.)
