ABSTRACT

In Mexico, there are important elements within the built and sculptural heritage, characterized by a rich variety of cultures that left important vestiges. Due to the age of the various elements, it is necessary to carry out restoration processes that include the partial replacement of the components by others physically compatible. This same putty can be used to make sculptural models and the elaboration of pieces that allow making them known or preserving them. Recognizing the non-existence in the market of a product type dough or putty of drying in the open air that serves to model sculptural and architectural pieces, whose characteristics already provide dry appearance, color and texture type stone or mud, in this article, a putty was proposed, joining and mixing several organic and inorganic components, whose quality is that, when drying and hardening, you can manipulate and model the parts in less than twelve hours. This article presents the mixture and mechanical properties of the material obtained, such as compressive strength as well as permissible deformation.
