The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains

these words:

Using Google on "Builders' Lime" turned up 110,000 hits. I

stopped
looking after I found 20 which stated that builders' lime is

slaked
lime or hydrated lime or calcium hydroxide.


OK, google for 'chest of draws' and you'll be amazed at the number

of
hits you get.

Just because someone avers that builder's lime is slaked lime

doesn't
make it so, but it gets on Google all the same.


Not "someone". I stopped after I counted 20. They occurred in about
the first 200 entries I looked at. Linear extrapolation says that in
110,000 hits there might be an expectation number of about 10,000 folk
who say that builders' lime is calcium hydroxide
