Question

Lime plaster is a mixture of calcium hydroxide and sand (or other inert fillers).

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question in exam.

The above asked question is from Analysis of Rates of Plastering and Pointing in division Analysis of Rates of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

For explanation I would say: Lime plaster was a common building material for wall surfaces in a process known as lath and plaster, whereby a series of wooden strips on a studwork frame was covered with a semi-dry plaster that hardened into a surface. The plaster used in most lath and plaster construction was mainly lime plaster, with a cure time of about a month.
