Anyone tried slaking their own lime putty from quick lime?
Only sounds moderately dangerous. I think hot-lime mixing, where you add the aggregate at the same time is the really crazy one.
I have quite a lot of garden wall pointing to in the near future and wondered if I could save myself a few quid by making my own. The quicklime doesn't seem much cheaper than NHL2 though, so maybe that's the route to go.
