Lime Slurry: Suitable Substrates
Earthaus Lime Slurry is a breathable, hand-brushed, two-coat plaster finish that creates a beautifully opaque, matte surface with soft color movement and a velvety, sandy texture. When applied over substrates with natural contours, it gently diffuses edges, lending a softened, organic feel.
Explore the suitable substrates below and learn how to properly prepare each one for a long-lasting, refined finish.
Brick
Interior
- Porous (unsealed, unpainted): Direct Application. Lime Slurry penetrates the porous brick, bonding with it while allowing the silhouette of the substrate to show through and remain breathable.
- Sealed or Painted : Prime then apply. Lime Slurry forms a surface layer and bonds to the top of the primed brick. Earthaus does not make a primer product - any latex or PVA primer will work well.
Exterior

painted walls
Interior: Prime then direct application. If your walls are freshly painted or you trust your paint is uniformly impermiable, it is optional to prime. Earthaus does not make a primer product – any latex or PVA primer will work.
