Christopher,

While I have not run into these applications in my analyses, I find #2 somewhat interesting.  Modern gypsum plasters often incorporate perlite aggregate for low weight and reduction in noise transmission.  In gypsum-based materials the aggregate would be inert.  However, if used in a lime plaster the perlite might exhibit some interesting pozzolanic properties.

Has anyone had experience of

1. lime mortar used as a grout that is reinforced, to create a 'softer' wall with some resistance to lateral loads

2. lime plaster formulated for sound deadening?
