>I have tested Kremer lime and my plasterer also worked with it on several projects. This lime may be difficult for the novice. >Kremer lime needs to be vigorously whisked adding a little of distilled water until it becomes like a sourcream (consistency) a few days before the use, then whisked again before mixing with sand. If this is not done it is very likely for kremer lime to crack. Now I only use lime from Italy.

Ilia & Gary:

Thanks for this information. The Kremer info is invaluable as I thought I had done something wrong because it does crack often. Gary, you give such wonderful instructions, thank you. Put me first on the list when you begin selling LOL. Good to be back.

Regards,
Rebecca
