Hi Rikki,
Taddelakt is made with hydraulic lime ('Chaux
Hydraulique' in French)
The plaster is crushed with a stone during its
curing (the time consuming and tricky part)
Traditional 'Savon Noir' ('Black
Soap' ?) is used for waterproofing.
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.
Try working a bowl (small object) and see if it
works for you. And let me know when you find english data.
Bye,
André

HI!
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!
MAY THE wings OF LIBERTY NEVER LOSE A SINGLE FEATHER!
love , RIKKI
