![]() For a smooth finish, apply a setting coat of one part lime to two parts fine sand, called ‘fine stuff’.The mix for the first coat, or ‘scratch coat’, should be one part lime putty to three parts sharp, well-graded sand, mixed with plenty of animal hair.Fix it to the bottom of the joists using laths and screws. This will save several thousands of pounds. If you’re on a strict budget use a reed mat instead of riven laths on the ceiling – that is, if you decide to lime plaster that too. ![]() Finest quality uses three coats, but generally two coats will suffice. ![]()
