rendering with K-Lime

[abinath]

Does anyone have experience of using this product ? Is it better than the traditional lime ? Does anyone have knowledge of how many rain-free hours or days must exist after its application, and the minimum ambient temperature to avoid damage ? Is it as breathable as traditional lime ?

I havent used that particular brand of lime but from reading the article its Naturally Hydraulic Lime (NHL).

Ive been doing loads of research and reading into lime as Ive started reconstructing an old house.

My two bobs worth is that in terms of breathability lime is ranked as 1) Non hydraulic(traditional, quicklime) 2) NHL 3) Hydrated lime(a bit useless really apart from for adding to cement.

Ty Mawr(below) seems the best supplier in the UK from people Ive asked for advice, in my neck of the woods though I have to go to the source.
