Drawing upon historic literature, material science and industry case studies, topics covered include: a historical overview of traditional mortars; slaking and mixing hot mixed lime mortars; the essentials of pozzolans, aggregates and lime tempering; plasters, lime washes and sheltercoats,\n\nHot Mixed Lime and Traditional Mortars\nA Practical Guide to Their Use in Conservation and Repair\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Roy;
