Headed to APT in Indianapolis?
Headed to APT in Indianapolis? Be sure to include the workshop option so that you can join us and get your hands on the very best masonry paint: potassium silicate mineral paint.
Mineral paints have been on the market for years, but plenty of preservation professionals have never actually worked with them: when they're the right call, how two-part and one-part systems differ, and how to blend color so a repair reads as stone instead of paint.
On Monday, October 26, Cathedral Stone, ARG/CS, and RLA Conservation are co-hosting a one-day, hands-on workshop for APT attendees:
How-to Guide: Potassium Silicate Blending
and Color Integration
WHEN AND WHERE…
Monday, October 26 | 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM | The Woolery Mill, just outside Indianapolis.
We'll walk through product selection across several manufacturers, the ground rules for successful application, and case studies where potassium silicate was used to visually integrate new work with historic fabric, protect surfaces, and deal with masonry that had already been painted. Then you'll pick up a brush. Everyone applies coatings to masonry samples and tries color matching for themselves.
The venue is worth the trip on its own: a 1920s limestone mill reimagined!
Transportation from the JW Marriott, lunch, and coffee are all provided.
