This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1863 Excerpt: ...and used while hot. This may readily be done by adding a knob of lime and sand a little at a time as it is used. For better kinds of cottages the better sort of facing stuff may be used, and then, as before, the whole limewhited, or if it be required to make the finishing as perfect as possible, the following is the true mode, viz.: with water and a brush thoroughly wet and soak the face of the wall for two or three yards in superfices at a time, all which part during the said wetting should be continually rubbed and worked about with a hand float, till such time as the face is rubbed smooth and even, by which the facing composition will so wash up as to become a pleasant colour, the face smooth and hard when dry, and not liable to scale off as a coat of plaster would do.
