I found a decent resource for harling and slaked lime books.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case Studies of Traditional Lime Harling, A Discussion Document. Scottish Lime Centre. (1996), Edinburgh, Scotland: Historic Scotland. This "hands on" 44-page book documents specific details on 4 restoration sites in Scotland using traditional lime materials in repairing historic harling (stucco). (Harling is the method of applying -throwing- a roughcast of stucco to wall surfaces.) Tim Meek takes you back in time, step by step, in preserving one of Scotland's most treasured heritage properties, the Brodie Castle in Morayshire, Scotland. Book highlights include: historical background of the use of lime harling, material specifications, application approaches, and the importance of protecting fresh work from environmental conditions. Packed with generations of trade secrets. #1015... $13.00

Lime Mortars Preparation and Use of Lime Mortar. An Introduction to the Principles of Using Lime Mortars...Scottish Lime Centre. 1995, Edinburgh, Scotland. This informative 60-page book draws together existing information on traditional lime mortars for the benefit of specifiers and craftsmen working with traditional masonry-built structures in Scotland and around the world. The book covers a historical summary of building lime and outlines the technical issues associated with lime burning, lime slaking and lime putty. It also includes a description of lime types, evaluation of sands, and the methods of mixing lime putty mortar by hand and with the aid of a Pan Mill Mixer which dates back to 1879. Site skills and appropriate working practices are also discussed in detail. This is one of the most informative books ever written in the usage of traditional lime mortars. #1013...$20.00 for more info go to :
