Workshop

We will teach you a variety of gel preparation techniques, including how to modify physical properties and

performance by adjusting reagent concentrations and adding various agents. Recipes demonstrated will

include varying the concentration of reagents, adding rigid gels, chelating agents, water-miscible organic

solvents and water-immiscible solvents through emulsifier The workshop will feature a range of case

studies on plaster and marble, demonstrating the cleaning effectiveness of Agar, Nevek, and PVA-Borax

gels on porous surfaces. We will also cover PVA-Borax gel applications for selective removal of

film-forming agent from painted surfaces and cleaning delicate materials such as textured paints,

oils, temperas, acrylics, plastics, and more. Participants will get hands-on experience in preparing and

testing PVA-Borax gels, adjusting their viscoelasticity, and loading them with organic solvents and

cleaning agents. Bring your own cases for discussion and conduct cleaning tests to determine the best

treatment methods.
