What is Laponite RD in Ceramic Conservation about?

This document summarizes research into the use of Laponite RD gel as a poulticing material in ceramics conservation. Tests found residual gel left on ceramic surfaces after treatment, with more residue for lower concentration gels and more applications. Analysis also detected ion exchange between the gel and glaze, with lithium diffusing from the gel into the glaze. While no significant short-term effects were seen, the results emphasize the need for awareness of potential long-term damage from Laponite RD
