Thanks for this. You've given a clear demonstration of the risks that are not clear in textbooks or theoretical descriptions. Just what I needed before starting with CaO reaction.
So frustrating trying to look up information on Limewashing/Whitewashing and 99% of the results are for morons watering down white paint for some lame decorative project. Its bad enough that they are labeling thinned down paint as something it's not, but they have to make it nearly impossible for people interested in the real thing to find information! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Tom, I've seen someone on CZcams adding pigment to warm water in a tub, then adding non-hydraulic lime one trowel at a time until the whole is bubbling away - is this OK as an alternative method, or is it always safer adding water to the powder?
When you say "natural" form, do you mean how it is found in the ground? I was thinking that we rarely find lime in the ground as lime. I thought we usually find limestone and calcine the lime out. Perhaps I am mistaken? Please clarify.

By far the clearest video on the slaking process I've seen, thank you!
I'd love to see more videos involving Slaking Quicklime

Seriously under rated video. Following
awesome video, would love to see more videos about slaking quicklime
Thank you so much for your efforts ❤
Thanks for this clear and practical informations, I couldn’t find any others experimenting with this material
I don't understand. can you use lime putty direct or does it have to be matured for months? I need to make some mortar

I believe he was making a lime wash correct? I saw that video he was mixing in the back of a van? I am sure he has done that for years.
Also if I remeber correctly he had too much water, he was drowning the lime. That is why he was adding quicktime to water so the reaction kept going.
What is your ratio between quicklime in powder form and water?

You're brave and bold.
Yes he does sound sinister......
Maybe a class action l s to correct.
How do we make Roman concrete?

Can’t get quick lime here only hydrated lime
Why you are not answered me dear?
Hello- Could you remind me what your question was please?
@@helenaburke2201 in slaking what percentage of water is added to CaO?
