Frequently Asked Questions About Ceramic Restorations
Why Should I restore?
The term restoration generally refers to the art of improving an object's appearance, but restorers also stabalize and strengthen objects, removing accumulations of dirt or repairs that may injure the object, thus preserving it for future generations.
How Long Will This Take?
One must be prepared to wait for quality work. Remember that restoration is a fine craft, and that treatments take time. Air pressure, temperature, and humidity all have subtle effects on the curing of the new sensitive materials used in ceramic restoration. An air bubble, or puckery surface may delay the completion of a repair.
