Great post Myriam!

You beat me to ansvering Don's last post.
I have discovered Genlime in 1999, but because of the lime being dolomitic never posted the link to them at TrueFresco.com I did not have time to go around testing it, yet.
Lime putty is also used for restoring ornamental plasters and Niagara by Genlime is designed for this market.
With fresco we look for slightly different criteria - magnesium in dolomitic lime (i wrote about it in some other post) produces flourescent spots and this affects colour, which is not the case for ornamental plasters.
My guess would be that their testing did not include colour testing, at least not to the extend of fine art painting.
I suppose i should give them a call. Myriam can you post whom did you talked to, phone # perhaps?
