What is the difference between cement based and lime based skim coat?
Lime Based Skim coat (LSC) is made with lime in various formulation and there is no standard formulation. The same consists of mainly lime, oil and several other igredients which changes from place to place. Cement based Skim coat on the other hand is factory made and contains Cement as Binder along with Filler and Additive to support various properties. The basic difference between Lime Based Skim Coat and Cement Based are that the Lime Based Skim Coat are not water resistant and cannot be applied externally, whereas cement based Skim Coat(CSC) can be applied interiors as well as exteriors. They are water resistant. The adhesion strength of the CSC is much higher than LSC. CSC being cement based becomes an integral part of the base plaster hence the durability is very high. LSC on the other hand cannot tolerate any moisture and gets peeled off in contact with the moisture. The Skim Coats are generally done as a base coat for paints and the CSC provide a firm base for the paints. The CSC can be made water resistant which results in lower consumption of Paint by around 20%. The initial cost of application of CSC is slightly higher than the LSC which is compensated by the lesser paint consumption and becomes lower as no primer is required after application of the CSC. For any further information on the properties of the CSC if required I can be contacted in the following email ID: sumonc@adityabirla.com

What to do with leftover drywall?
I took my left over drywall and cut it into 12-15.5 inch sheets and glued it inside the wall (interior walls) between the studs I wanted to be more sound proof. I did it in the bathroom and my bedroom. Obviously you have to do it after one side is done and before you put the final sheets on the other side. You can do it to outside walls but you will limit insulation space and would have to glue it to the plywood or particle board.
