THE USE OF WATER LIME FOR PARAPET
WALLS AND CHIMNEY TOPS

The following letter, with which we were kindly
favored by Dr. Bayless will be found TO contain
valuable information TO the use of water lime for
parapets. DIR. Bayless has tried the method of Mr.
Skies on chimney tops, and he has no doubt of lis
success with them Us with parapct walls Louis
rille Journal.
BOWLING GREEN, KY, July 6, 1876
Dr.. BAYLEss-Dear Sir: After your bricks are
laid on top of your fire pampet wall as usual
whitewash 1t with water lime. Put equal quantities
OF water lime and clean sand together, and make Il
thick whl,cwash or paste, which can be poured out
ON the wall with cup and spread with panter's
brush. 1t must be applied to vertical portions q
The wall with the brush Alone as also on the under
sides OF the projections, but it be poured freely
over the top, which is most exposed and be merely
spread with the brush.
In all saturate the bricks with water before
the application Of the cement. The water ought 10
be applied two or three times, until the wall is tho
roughly wet. This moisture will be given out to
the cement gradually, and is necessary for crysta
zatlon. 1t may be necessary even after this. to
sprinkle water over the cement particularly if the
weather is hot The induration is slow process
plank put over the wall to shelter it from the
sun will prevent the evaporation of the water, and
is indispensable in hot weather. These directions
strictly followed will make the upper edge of YOUR
wall solid as rock, and impervous to water
The trowel, exactly in proportion to the time it
Is applied, INJURIES water lime. Applied in the Ii
quld state, as in grout, and in mouds otherwise
so as not TO require alteration in shape the pro
cess OF induraon. which begins instantly is never
interrupted, and like Il wound, suddenly and nicely
adjusted and closed, it will join by lrst ntention'
Water lime becomes harder inside than outside OF
buildings, because the shade protects it from too III;
pdly drying. While the lime is indurating it
should have all the water which it can absorb.
without washing or too much softcning the surface
Indeed stiff mortar will harden, when submerged
in ,urIo. ob, atiH l,t.,- 81.
Nomo can harden if the moisture is too sudden
~ Withdrawn. All the water with which mortar
is made is necessary to perfect induration Hence,
in hot weather, bricks should always be soaked in
water before laying. The neglect of this makes
all walls laid in midsummer inferior those laid i'll
spring ard autumn.
Your court house walls, if thoroughly soaked in
water and whewashed with water lime, without
the sand, would cease to cXpoate or otherwise de
cay. Respectfully, JAS. r. SKILES.
