The chemist, mr Curtis seems to know a lot about lime
and fresco.
Something i have to ask:
I come from france, i did fresco over there, using lime for restauration, CA OH2 , following a precise recipe to mix sand and lime. It worked perfectly, on many fresco and stucco work.
When I read mail on this forum, lime seems to be a subject of concern, hard to find, hard to find the appropriate one. Even if you exclude dolomite lime, why would the CA OH2 that you can find here wouldn't be good enough for that kind of use, why would you have to buy your putty from germany or italy? What would be the actual difference in the use between a super raffined italian lime and plain old CA OH 2 from the usa or canada?
