Coverage
Coverage
Coverage: About 10-15 square feet per gallon of concentrate at 3/8" total thickness. This is based on each gallon of concentrate making about 3.5-4 gallons of plaster once sand is added. Smooth, flat walls are at the high end. Rough stone, open joints and uneven walls use more and sit at the low end. Thicker work uses proportionally more: at 5/8", plan on about 6-9 square feet per gallon. Mix 1 part concentrate with 2.5-3 parts clean, sharp sand by volume for every coat, using finer sand for the last coat. Use the Plaster Estimator below for your wall.
Typical thickness: two-coat preservation parge, about 3/8"-5/8" total. Traditional three-coat plaster (scratch, brown, finish), about a 3/8" system, built thicker on uneven walls. Single working coat on masonry, 1/8"-1/4".
Smooth decorative skim coat? Use our Color Skim lime plasters.

More about LimePro
Old masonry walls, especially in basements and cellars, tend to dust, crumble and shed. LimePro is a sand-free lime plaster concentrate made with a pozzolanic hydraulic lime and no Portland cement. Mixed with sand, it becomes a traditional plaster for base coats, parging and lime stucco on brick, stone and concrete.
Mix one part LimePro with two and a half to three parts sand for every coat: coarser sand for base and parge coats, finer sand for the last coat and for stucco. One gallon of concentrate makes about 3.5 to 4 gallons of plaster. Add water, mix, and trowel it on. We recommend working when it's above 40°F, and protecting fresh work from freezing while it cures.
For basement, cellar and foundation walls of brick and stone, apply LimePro as a two-coat parge. It reduces dusting and gives a breathable, sacrificial mineral surface; it is not a water barrier, and a water repellent should never go below grade. Above grade outside, finish with Masonry Responder Sealer once the lime has cured.
Once cured, LimePro can be stained, color-washed with water-diluted stain, or limewashed. For thin, pre-colored finish coats, or decorative finishes over primed drywall, use Color Skim lime plaster.

Came out beautiful and better than I had hoped
Shipped quickly. Arrived quickly. It mixed easily and adhered to my spalling bricks. So far so good.
The perfect mortar for 126 year old bricks (granite boulder and brick foundation built in 1900). Very happy with the mortar and clear instructions. Thank you ProMason!
Worked perfectly. Stain changed color of existing brick to the tone I was expecting giving it new life and blends with other new finishes.
I haven't had a chance to mix and use the mortar yet. However, the customer service is great. They immediately sent a replacement package of colorant since the original had leaked.
Our project turned out wonderful! What an amazing difference. It completely changed the look of the house!!
Easier to apply than I anticipated.
My first time staining brick and I was nervous on how it might turn out because I was going from dark brown tone bricks to gray tone (before and after photo submitted)Blended my own color combo and It looks amazing.
The stain covers well and a quart did a good amount of surface area. The perfect shade was achieved by mixing 2 colors. It looks great and is a nice brick border update!
The masonry sealer worked great. It was easy to apply and dried perfectly.
So far, so good. It will take time.
I just tried the mortar out. Need to learn a little more about using it as what I applies turned white. Yes it was sunny and hot. I tried keeping it spritzed and ended up shading the work with tarps, but too late. I’ll try again next week since I see a cloudy day in the forecast. Marie
We took down the Wood pan line in our old home. Built in 1880. All the room is red brick. Except for this one spot that it looks like they ran out. Using pro Mason stains, I was able to make coordinate better with the rest of the room. Very happy with the results! It would have been impossible to achieve without being able to dilute and combine the stains to make multiple colors to match the variants in the original bricks.
Working out great so far
This was awesome. It mixed very well, and even though its still curing, it is very hard now. It was also fun to mix up a mortar by hand the same way they used to do back in the day.
I had my steps repointed but they were way to light and slot of cement left on the brick. These stains worked amazing. Darkened the mortar and made the bricks look new!! Love this product! I used dark buff for the mortar and mixed burgundy and dark red for my brick.
