MSC Hot Table Accessories

The larger sizes of the Vacuum Hot Tables, Heated Suction Tables, and Direct Suction Platens make rigid acrylic domes impractical. Canopies create large-scale moisture relaxation zones on the table. Moisture canopies are made with clear six mil nonporous PVC film and placed over an aluminum frame to fit. The Moisture Canopy uses aluminum poles for support. It stores easily, quickly, and compactly when not in use. The moisture canopy retains moisture provided by the ultrasonic humidifier during relaxation, conditioning and wetting treatments as well as the lining process. Moisture is applied to the object through moistened blankets under the painting or from an ultrasonic humidifier applying moisture from above the work. A Digital Controller Package allows exacting control of moisture levels in the canopy.

The MSC Converter is a suction platen 2.54 cm thick (one inch) that rests on top of an existing Vacuum Hot Table transforming it into a Heated Suction Table. The heat from the hot lining table is the source of heat for the Converter. The Tiger-Vac vacuum cleaner with its vented exhaust capability is recommended as the vacuum source for the Converter.
