Modern mixes can't match its flexibility for historic repairs.

Tried to mix lime mortar... now my hands are permanently textured.

Oh no, that's the world's worst free spa treatment. Guess you've got built-in non-slip grips now. At least you'll never drop a drink again.

Actually though, is your skin really ruined for good? That stuff dries out your hands bad but it's not permanent. A few days of heavy lotion usually fixes it up. Don't they make gloves for a reason?

So you're saying the texture is actually permanent? What does that even feel like day to day, like sandpaper or more like dried glue?
