by shaking about 10 pounds Of quick
lime with 2 gallons of water.
The lime is placed in = pail and the
water poured over it, after which the
pail is covered with an old piece of
for about an hour. With an insuffi.
cient amount of water, the lime is
scorched" and not all converted into
hydrate; on the other hand, too much
water retsrds the slaking by lower NJ
the heat.
Scorched" lime is generally lumpy
and transparent, hence the use of tn,
proper amount of water for shaking and
an after addition of water to bring Il
to brush consistency.
