QUICKLIME

Preparation of the mixture

Prepare a sufficiently large container according to the amount of slaked lime. As a guide, a container of at least 200 litres is needed to 50 kg of slaked lime. For slaked lime you need about 150-170 litres of water must be prepared.

For preparing proceed as follows:
Put about 1/3 of the expected amount of water into the prepared container. Then carefully pour the lime from the bag, stirring constantly. As soon as the process starts (which is indicated by boiling), immediately add more water and keep stirring the lime in the container. Continue in this until the slurry is sufficiently thin to pour into the lime pit.

There are two mistakes you can make when you prepare the slaked lime:
You will drown the lime with more water.
You will burn the lime with too little water.
In both cases, you will have the slaked lime in not of the right quality.

If you will use in a masonry mortar, you can use it without rip time.
For plastering mortars, let the slaked lime rip for at least 1 week.
