You're not doing masonry, so don't use it. You don't want/need the lime, makes it sticky and harder to work with as a setting bed. You want Portland/sand at about 1:5 mixed supper dry.
You can buy bagged material like this; http://www.quickrete.com/ProductLines/SandToppingMix.asp It's a 1:3 mix, so add some sand to make it easier to work with. :thumbsup:
BTW, it's "lath" not "lathe". This is a lathe, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...athe-parts.svg/300px-Wood-lathe-parts.svg.png
