Understanding Our Gypsogem Products

One of the most important parts of the workshop is learning about the different Gypsogem products and understanding what makes each one unique.

Gypsogem Original Super White

You will learn about our Original Super White, including how it is mixed, its working characteristics, its finish, its benefits and the types of projects it is best suited to.

You will also learn why Original Super White is such a versatile option for creative casting and how it differs from our Premium product.

Gypsogem Premium

You will also learn about our Premium product, including its mixing method, finish, working characteristics and benefits.

We will explain where Premium performs best and why you may choose Premium rather than Original Super White for certain projects.

By the end of the workshop, you should have a much clearer understanding of which Gypsogem product to use, why you would use it and how to work with it correctly.
