<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Rikki,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Taddelakt is made with hydraulic lime ('Chaux
Hydraulique' in French)<BR>The plaster is crushed with a stone during its
curing (the time consuming and tricky part)<BR>Traditional 'Savon Noir' ('Black
Soap' ?) is used for waterproofing. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes it gives gorgeous results, but is is not as
simple as mud plaster. Marocco (Marakech) is the place to visit if
you want to learn more. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Try working a bowl (small object) and see if it
works for you. And let me know when you find english data.</FONT></DIV>

<P>HI!</P>
<P>I have done a search on Tadelakt and have only found websights in French
and amazing fotos, but I haven´t been able to find any info. on how to
make it/use it. Can anyone direct me to a webpage that expains it
better. Is it a lime-based plaster (meaning that I can produce it with
normal lime) or is it a special product that includes lime in its
composition? After seeing some fotos I can tell it can be amazingly
beautiful!<BR><BR><BR>MAY THE wings OF LIBERTY NEVER LOSE A SINGLE FEATHER!
