The substance that gives medium dressy and really need the white (lime or chalk);

 

A substance which improves the adhesion of mortar to the barrel (clay, milk, vegetable or green soap, casein glue or PVA glue);

A substance that gives disinfectant effect (copper sulfate, etc.).

And in what proportions to mix these components, prompt examples of good recipes for whitewash:

Water — 10 litres
