I'm thinking about making some with that bag of slaked lime out in my
garage. Just mix with excess water and let it soak for a few months,
stirring occasionally for the first week or two. I'm sure it's carbonated
a little by now, but if the results are at all promising I can find a fresh
bag of lime.

I wonder if adding a *little* white portland cement to the lime paste just
before using would be a good thing?
