Traditionally, gamma radiation is used to impregnate cultural artifacts with a radiocurable resin. In this study, the consolidating resin was applied only to the external surface of the vessel by brushing. The object was weighed before and after consolidation, and a colorimeter was used to evaluate possible color changes. The results indicated that the method was effective, with no negative effects on the appearance of the cultural item.1-26engopenAccessArtigo de periódico4A1210.15392/2319-0612.2024.2560http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4168-1626Sem Percentil F.I.Sem Percentil CiteScore
