There’s a lot of thought in heritage conservation we should all be mixing hot lime on site to use for repairs. I was just finding what you were saying at the end very interesting as I believe you have other ideas?

Hi there: I have a build system called kabook-i which uses bamboo and earth materials to make affordable, ecological houses. I've recently been looking into hempcrete and lime mix to make the walls. In your opinion, would the hempcrete or lime rot / corrode the bamboo thanks - Mike eco1solutions - you can reply through my website -thanks

i think you were very low on sand content in this mix, the sand acts as a heat sink. if you had added sufficient sand, then the' run away' exothermic reaction you observed would not have occurred. allow it to run away like that is very bad for the lime properties, but your video is useful in demonstrating the risks involved of an incorrect mix to novices, so very well done and thank you.
