Whitewash is especially compatible with masonry because it is absorbed easily and the resultant chemical reaction hardens the medium. Lime wash is pure slaked lime in water. It produces a unique surface glow due to the double refraction of calcite crystals. Limewash and whitewash both cure to become the same material.
