Subject: Ferrous Sulfate and cement/lime plasters


Hi all,
Have any of you had any strange results using ferrous sulfate on 
cement/lime plasters (l cement: 1 lime: 6 sand)?

The house in Capitola is plastered (1:1:6) and stained with ferrous 
sulfate, but it isn't turning the typical orange/brown - just staying 
blue/green. We applied a test patch on the scratch coat and it turned 
orange in one day. Now with the same mix on the brown coat it isn't 
turning.  hmmmm.... Any suggestions? Anyone know where I can purchase 
ferrous nitrate in northern CA?

Thanks,

Kelly
