@themojavecenter: Tadelakt is my favorite plaster. Inspired by Moroccan architecture you basically turn plaster back to stone! Interested to learn? Recipe is below to try on your own or come out to a class sometime! Make sure your substrate is prepped, needs a lime stucco that is level and flat or go right over tile backer board but you will need primer and most likely some sort of mesh for the plaster to adhere to. Recipe came from Benito Steen aka Nito Project on YouTube: Protein Heavy Tadelakt Plaster: 3 parts lime 3 parts NHL 3.5 (use regular lime if you can’t find this) 2 parts sifted sand 1 part marble sand (per 12 liters of dry mix I added different things depending on the coat) First coat additives: Extra 20–30 grit sand Paper pulp (about half a roll of toilet paper) 1/8 cup casein powder Second coat additives: 1/8 cup casein powder 6 egg whites Oil with black olive oil soap to keep the tradition alive or use anything that is fatty; tallow, beeswax, or use synthetic sealers if you choose. Happy plastering!
Why use lime and nhl 3.5 lime together? Can we just use one or the other? And do you have to mix both lime powders with water and slake the lime for 4+ months before using it?

I didn’t know you could leave it textured like that! I’ve only worked with tadelakt like this where I used stones to smooth it out. 🥰
