Limelight Restoration Plaster..........

[niknak68]

HELP......... Please can someone tell me if limelight restoration plaster is applied in the same way as multi finish

I may be wrong but I used limelight backing plaster many years ago after a chemical DPC we had injected into a wall and I think we used finish plaster on top of it. But I also think they do a finishing plaster as well Does it say on the bag wether it is "backing" or "Finish" plaster? If not have a look in the bag and see if it is coarse or fine.... One of the lads might be a bit more up on this than me ......

its been a good few yrs since i've heard of limelite

we used it in renovation/preservation jobs following up from the dpc injections.

if i remember correctly limelite was the base coat plaster.

And we mixed in in an old bath using rakes.

Hi alastairreid
We did a few renovation/preservation jobs that entailed
scratch coating the walls then when it was dry paint it over with syntapruth horizontally and when dry brush another coat vertically then blind it with sand and let it all dry out. And when it was dry brush off the excess sand and then put a coat of sand and cement on, then float it out and plaster it. Have you heard or ever used this method or has anybody else heard of this? Theoretically it creates a bitumen membrane between the scratch and float coats.

never done it that way before roy, sounds good though.

synthaprufe........another blast from the past, we used that to waterproof the solums.

along with the tar boiler watering can, and 3rd degree tar burns..

sorry for the hi-jack op.

Yes mucka, I don't remember which injection system we were using at the time as we were always being approached by "reps" trying to sell us their products I was working in Guernsey at the time and was doing a lot of renovation and preservative work...We also put Onecoat Plaster on top of the bitumen instead of Sand and cement...Seemed to work ok....
