[papercreters] Definition of Lime render

We have been discussing how to treat walls for exterior exposure.  I am not sure we are talking about the same thing.

Apparently lime render and lime plaster mean the same thing.

Wikipedia doesn't have much of an article, but it says:  Lime render is a lime-based cementitious mix applied to the external surfaces of traditionally-built stone buildings. It allows the building to 'breathe' - as lime is porous, it allows for the collection and evaporation of moisture. Cement in contrast, an often applied render for stone buildings, traps moisture behind the stonework, which may result in the erosion of the stone masonry.

They did refer to:

which seems to be a good article.

The following seems to be a good article, but it recommends adding cement and the video is poor quality.
