Workshop AGAR SPRAY: NEW APPLICATIONS OF RIGID GEL FOR THE TREATMENT OF LARGE SURFACES (18th & 19th September 2024)

- CALL FOR APPLICATION - Workshop AGAR SPRAY: NEW APPLICATIONS OF RIGID GEL FOR THE TREATMENT OF LARGE SURFACES (18th & 19th September 2024)

The innovative procedure presented during the workshop will provide participants with new theoretical and practical knowledge on the applicative potential of this helpful gelling agent.
The new method developed by the teacher, thanks to the tool adopted for the application, gives the agar new structural characteristics.
For the first time the treatment becomes feasible, safe and suitable for complex surfaces, extended and varied in nature, obtaining results that are difficult to reach with the methods presently known. The workshop will offer participants know-how and skills to master the application of the "agar spray" technique, applicable to paint, paper, wood, wall and plaster.
