Examples of microfading applications

Malgorzata

Hi,
Our potential client is a conservation department at a local university of art, currently working on restoration of frescoes and paintings in two churches. We think that your device might be useful for them, and they are very interested in your solutions for museums.
Could you please provide us with some materials, which will inform our customer on the application of the MFT for similar objects?

Thank you in advance for your kind feedback.

Best regards,
Balázs
