Lime parge coat

We have a room that's back to brick, in some sections, around windows etc, you can see day light. We're unlikely to finish it off this year, so before winter sets in I'd like to to "something".

 

As well as repointing the outside, I'm thinking of just a parge coat on the inside. Can you parge using lime (NHL) the same way you can with cement? Sloppy mix in a bucket with a stiff brush?

normal cement, and hydrated lime.

 

I mixed mine as 1x 25kg bag of cement, 3x 25kg bags of building sand, and think it was about 2 to 3 shovels of lime.  The lime gives a creamy consistency.  Add enough water to make a double cream.

 

Makes a mess, wear safety glasses
