When liming wood, the workpiece is dyed white. At the same time, the pores are closed with a white mass.
wood requires some properties of the wood. In addition, the wood must be free of grease and clean, which should be ensured by prior sanding and brushing in the direction of the grain. Liming closes the pores of the wood. In order to still be able to preserve the grain of the wood, it is often stained with water stain beforehand. A water-based primer protects the stain and the wood from the lime paste. Once the primer has completely dried, the lime paste can be applied transversely to the direction of the wood fibre. In this step, pigments can also be added. To prevent the filling compound from escaping, a wax or varnish sealant is applied after the treatment.
Wood that is to be limed must be solid wood that has large pores. Oak, ash and elm are well suited for this.
