Specifying Hot Mixed Lime Mortars

Dates: 27 March 2018 and 04 May 2018.
Venue: Charlestown Workshops, Fife KY11 3EN.

This one-day workshop aims to provide an introductory guide to the preparation and use of’ hot mixed’ lime mortars, that is, mortars prepared by slaking quicklime, sand and natural hydraulic lime binders (and possibly other additives like tallow or pozzolans) to more closely mimic the appearance and technical performance of conservation mortars and in some cases offer advantages in use and technical performance over more conventional ‘cold mortars’.
