Lime Wash (EWI-707) - 10L

EWI-707 Lime Wash is primarily a protective layer for lime coatings and masonry substrates. On new lime renders and plasters, it unifies and protects the surface whilst the new plaster is building strength. As lime wash is essentially diluted lime putty, it maintains all breathable qualities, contributing to a fully breathable lime system. EWI-707 Lime Wash is also a repairing material, being used to fill small shrinkage cracks on the lime coverings. Lime wash can also be used in conjunction with various aggregates to make shelter coats for friable masonry and will act as a sacrificial protective coat. Historically, lime wash was used as the primary decorative coat, however, it has been superseded by lime paint in that department.
