Proper storage preserves the workability and performance of lime putty. Because traditional lime hardens through carbonation when exposed to air, preventing air contact is essential.
Follow these guidelines to maintain quality:
The water layer protects the material from premature carbonation and helps retain the smooth plasticity required for mortars, plastering and historic limewash applications.
Lime putty is a non-hydraulic lime binder produced by hydrating quicklime and allowing it to mature under controlled conditions. Properly aged lime putty develops enhanced plasticity and workability, making it ideal for lime mortars, plastering and historic limewash applications. It carbonates slowly by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air, forming a durable yet breathable finish.

Warren Smith of Stonesmith did an incredible job with the task that the College presented to him. His ability to understand what the College needed and then to ensure that the end result matched this was first rate. Warren was professional in his interactions with staff, worked to a tight timeline and made sure the space was left in order. The College had an expectation of how the end product needed to look and feel, Warren worked hard to achieve this. It was incredible to see the designs come to life.
