"on whether it is necessary to add cement to the lime and sand mix on the rough coat"
 
   I am trying to teach myself how to do frescos... with the help of this website and the knowledgable people here I think I will do so much better than I initially anticipated.... I was so happy to find you!

I am starting with a small panel, 24" X 16" and would like to know any opinions on whether I can use mortar mix instead of cement in the rough coat, and also am wanting to know if on a small panel of this size it is necessary to add the cement into the mixture of lime and rough sand. The percentage I used is 8 parts sand to 5 parts slaked lime....

Any help on this subject, on the ground and on how to prepare it ---- especially for use on panels of any size will be greatly appreciated. I would also like to hear what kind of materials people are using for the panel itself.

Thank you so much and looking forward to hearing from you all...

Karla
