I've heard people say it wont stick to concrete, but I've yet to
encounter any such problem. If there is a sticking issue, adding 1%
boiled linseed oil may solve it.

And pray it doesn't rain....


just check the weather forecast. Lime paint takes a day or so to
become rainproof.


Hehe - the weather forecast. If it were April, I would to avoid painting due to
the showers. May should be okay though.

In reality, a new water-butt I put up at the start of April, remained empty
until a week ago, and then filled up in one hour flat.


fwiw fresh lime doesnt mind a light shower. Its so easy to apply &
clean up, unlike other paints, that I dont mind a bit of a gamble on
rain.
