"The Use and Creation of Pre-Coated Repair Materials" is a
practical, hands-on workshop for conservation professionals who are
interested in learning more about the selection, creation, and use
of adhesive pre-coated repair materials for conservation treatment.

Limit 10 participants.  Space is limited, so early registration is
strongly encouraged.  Participants must have professional experience
in conservation or historic preservation, or have completed
substantial study, and have a working knowledge of basic laboratory
procedures and safety.  Registrants will be asked to submit a
CV/Resume for review to courses<-at->conservation-us<.>org after online
registration is complete.  FAIC reserves the right to cancel the
registration and make a refund to those not meeting these
requirements.

Pre-coated repair materials supplement traditional mending
techniques by taking advantage of the reactivation properties of
numerous starch, protein, and synthetic adhesives.  Greater control
of moisture introduction during reactivation enables repairs near
sensitive media or mold-damaged supports.  Dried adhesive films
strengthen very thin, fragile supports for greater ease of use and
smaller repair areas.  Careful selection allows for a highly refined
and customized repair material that may surpass other products
available from the commercial market.

This three-day course is directed towards conservation professionals
with a familiarity of adhesive systems, common conservation repair
techniques, and theoretical concepts.  It includes lecture
presentations on key concepts; an overview of selection criteria;
instructor-led demonstrations; collaborative discovery exercises;
and group discussions to share experimental results and evaluate
findings.  Attendees collaborate closely to share working methods
and tips.  Experimentation outside of the normal lab environment
frees attendees to try new materials and apply new techniques to
sample objects with playful yet complicated condition issues that
mimic real-world treatment scenarios.
