This two-day workshop, hosted by the GCI and organized by the Association for Preservation Technology International (APT) during its annual conference, aims to provide an overview of the characteristics, working properties, and uses of injection grouts for the conservation of architectural surfaces, including plasters, wall paintings, and mosaics, focusing on the desirable properties and parameters for use in conservation. The workshop will primarily cover the use of hydraulic lime-based grouts.
