How to make the best lime milk
1 80 litres of water.
You cannot use polyethylene buckets.
2 Add Bortop.
While stirring the water, add 20 kg (1 bag) of Bortop.
3 Stir for approx. 10 seconds
Once the Bortop has been added, stir with a stick for a further 10 seconds.
The mixture quickly becomes lime milk in 30 seconds to 3 minutes.
4 Allow the mixture to settle.
After stirring, allow the mixture to settle. The best lime milk is made within 5-10 minutes after stirring (do not get too close as it will boil). This makes a very slow-settling Bordeaux mixture.
Bortop Handling notes
1 Always store in a place of low temperature and low humidity.
2 For storage after opening, remove air from the bag and always seal with a rubber band.
3 If it gets on skin or in eyes, remove immediately, rinse well and seek medical advice.
