Note from Charmaine: I also recommend Classic Paints & Faux FInsihes for anyone considering a lime plaster or limewash finish on any wall surface. Excellent color photos and details of techniques, makes a great GIFT for any natural builder you know - in stock now, limited copies.
Plus I have one DVD on lime plastering--DVD-How to Plaster with Hydraulic Lime (imported, premixed product)-$29.50
*Tadelakt is a Moroccan render (plaster) technique. A special lime render is applied and compressed (polished) with stones. This results in a compact shiny surface. This lime material is not only used for exterior and interior walls but also for floors, bathtubs, showers, and table surfaces.
