Hi Jure,

I think terminology varies a bit depending on where you are. In the UK,
lime putty means pure slaked lime with an excess of water for example;
there's definitely no sand in it. Here's a link that explains various
terms:

Be aware of the big difference between 'hydrated lime' and 'hydraulic
lime' in particular. They sound similar, but they're quite different.

There are also links on that page to more information.

Cheers, Dave
