    Spackling paste is comparable and contrastable with joint compound as both look similar and serve the similar purpose of filling in low spots in walls and ceilings. [3] The chief differences are that spackling paste typically dries faster, shrinks less during drying, and is meant for smaller repairs, and not for a whole room or house.

    The second method is quicker but can be several millimetres out of plumb. The second coat can be a slightly weaker mix 5/1/1, or the same as the base coat with maybe a water- proofer in the mix added to the water to minimize efflorescence (rising of salts). Some plasterers used lime putty in second coat instead of dehydrated lime in the render.

  8. Bolus (radiation therapy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolus_(radiation_therapy)

    For example, if oblique 6 MV beams are used for tangential pair, 1 cm of bolus effectively becomes 1.5 cm, i.e., "full bolus". When a full bolus is applied, bolus thickness equal to the depth of the build-up region removes the skin-sparing effect of a megavoltage x-ray beam.

  9. Lime mortar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_mortar

    The lime putty, when mixed at a 1:3 ratio, fills these voids to create a compact mortar. Analysis of mortar samples from historic buildings typically indicates a higher ratio of around 1 part lime putty to 1.5 part [18] aggregate/sand was commonly used. This equates to approximately 1 part dry quicklime to 3 parts sand.
