HOPE ELIA OR GARY ARE STILL LOOKING IN ON THIS SITE!!!!
HELP!

I bought a product called LIMO and was told that it was "quicklime" ...."hot enought to blow up a bottle"....the olg guy said. However since I wanted to mix it in daylight outdoors...I waited until this morning at eight. Tried it. NO HEAT!!!! Does that mean that it is useless to use for a "lime putty" fresco plaster?
I can't believe I have wasted...well almost wasted three months of my life tracking down the correct lime. This is the third try. Someone out there must still carry the old fashioned white "quicklime" they used
in outdoor toilets.#$%$#@!!!!!
