Slaked lime putty is a traditional material used up until the introduction of Portland Cement in the mid 1800s. It is still used in restoration work. It is a base for plaster walls, stucco, and mortar for brick work, where the final product depends on the additives used. Very fine sand and sometimes hair is added for interior plaster, where coarser sand is used in masonry.
Lime putty is a paste made from calcium hydroxide, which is produced by slaking quicklime (calcium oxide) with water. It is a key ingredient in traditional lime mortar and plaster, known for its workability and breathability. Lime putty hardens over time through the process of carbonation, where it reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form calcium carbonate. This material is valued for its durability, flexibility, and ability to allow moisture to escape, making it suitable for historic restoration and sustainable building practices.

Garden Lime, also known as Calcium Carbonate, is simply CaCO3.
When you slake a lime an leave it for a few months, there will be a layer of water (providing you used a sufficient amount) ontop of the slaked lime putty. this water is limewater and is clear but contains tiny particles in suspension. The putty is what we refer to as slaked lime.
Typically whitewash is powdered lime (lime as in limestone, not the green fruit!) mixed with water.
