Comparison with “Handmade” Poultices By Josep Gisbert Aguilar, Carmen de Peña, Jorge Mellado, Raquel Sanz & Cristina Antoni University of Zaragoza Abstract- The authors have developed an automated method ("Gunpoint mix”) (https://youtu.be/4uXC_ Oo P7EM) for the manufacture of poultrices. The properties of the cellulose poultrices placed manually with those placed with the "GunPoint Mix" method applied on stone substrates of known characteristics are compared. Arbocel® BWW40 is used in both cases. The physical parameters of the cellulose, the microscopic texture, the absorption and desorption properties, the penetration of a consolidating product and the ease of cleaning are measured. The main advantage of the "Gunpoint mix" method lies in the speed of the application that allows a very exact control of the application times. Given its good adhesion, it can be applied with the same speed in the roof and top of the vaults (upside down) without the risk of landslides. The water parameters of each type of poultrice, provide information to the restorer to decide on what type of treatment is more appropriate to use a handmade poultrice or a "Gunpoint mix” poultrice. Keywords: paper pulp, poultrice, gunpoint mix, comparative, physical parameters, operability, hand-setting, automatic placement.
