5 shovels building sand,1 shovel cement,1 shovel lime,wear gloves as lime cause skin irretation

1 part cement, 2 part hydraulic lime nhl 3.5, 9 parts sharp grit sand. This mix will give you a coarse finish that will bring the aggregate up showing the grit when brushed finish, it is sometimes best to joint it up with a piece of square edged hardwood aswell. Hydraulic lime is better than hydrated as it lets the walls breathe minimilising damp problems.

We use a mix of 4 level buckets of light medium sharp sand, 1 level bucket of Hydrated Lime and the equivelant to 1 shovel full of White Cement as measuring every mix keeps the drying colour the same throughout the project, this mix also proves more accurate when matching North Norfolk properties. You can also use Hydralic lime where the mix can be 3 sand to 1 lime with no cement where flexability is requires, for example listed buildings, but this option works out to be more expensive as you will pay almost double the price for the natural Hydralic lime.
