High Quality Lime Putty For Sale!

We have a few hundred gallons of aged lime putty (over 7 years old) for sale that we slaked from high Calcium quicklime.

It has been screened through 1/8th inch wire mesh, and stored in 55-gallon plastic barrels that average about 30-40 gallons per barrel, and has been continuously protected from freezing.

This is an exceptional quality, Class A, "fat" lime putty/ It has extraordinary binding strength and fast carbonization rate due to the high Calcium content (over 95%) of the parent limestone. It has excellent adhesion characteristics, high plasticity, and quick set time.

This traditional lime is recommended as a lime/sand plaster for historical restoration projects, over unstabilized adobe block, traditional wood lath, or any type of natural earthen substrate or high silica content surface (such as straw bale). It can also be used as a base for traditional lime mortar for stone, fired brick, or natural adobe block.

This high quality, Class A, "fat" lime is the real stuff used prior to the introduction of the more fragile hydrated lime available in dry powdered form in bags at the local hardware or building supply store. We offer this unique and rare source of high Calcium lime putty for sale by the 50-gallon barrel (containing 30-40 gallons of dense putty).
