Turns out, this is pretty much how the Romans mixed their concrete and it has lasted thousands of years.

@@KurtisHord uhm no problem man, it's just a comment thread on youtube, no need to be so dramatic. Just to clarify, I wasn't saying this method was lost knowledge. It was learning exactly out how the romans used the lime in a hotmix to create their concrete that wasn't known. Long before the middle ages. They recently discovered how they mixed the type of concrete they used and it is very similar to how traditional mortars were mixed for hundreds of years until the 20th century.

It's just quicklime or unslaked lime. You can likely get it from the companies that dig the limestone.

US Heritage in Chicago sells conservation-grade lime products. I wonder why the need to mix quick lime directly though. Usually, slaking the quicklime a few months before use is preferable.

hi why does the quicklime come in the big rocks?, does it also come in powder, also is it cheaper to buy the big rocks if it comes in both?, thanks

maybe some humidity got to it and it was hard chunks. What sucks are YT channels that the creators dont come and answer any questions with those interested. I wanted to know about Dolomite lime, and it harder to find.
