As one of the early installers of the Rhoplex System and a colleague of its developer, Morgan Phillips, John Canning & Co. has worked with him on numerous preservation projects involving the consolidation, stabilization, and reinforcement of historic plaster. This is why John Canning & Co. is with HPCS today because these products take it further and into the future by systematically formulating the products and procedures so that the plaster consolidation process is most consistent, adaptable and user friendly while offering a guarantee that the open Rhoplex recipe doesn’t offer.
