Bourth: ignorant is definitely not a word I would ever use to describe you! I should have given more context
Bourth (X) Oct 25, 2009:
Sorry if I seemed ignorant but one gets so used to people indicating the wrong categories and getting their own context wide of the mark.
janisct (asker) Oct 25, 2009:
It is absolutely NOTHING to do with mounting brackets - see my previous suggestion relating to applying a sugar coating to a cake surface without added moisture (such as melted jam, etc).
Bourth (X) Oct 25, 2009:
If, as I assume, Perlosuc is the proprietary name for this type of sugar (sucre), then I have difficulty seeing it from the perspective of mounting brackets. Is it anything to do with growing cultures of things pharmaco-biological? In which case maybe this sugary stuff is what the culture is grown on. More CONTEXT would be invaluable.

which need to be applied onto a dry non- stick surface

This is how I would imagine it. If the cake is moist then the sugar will become transparent (melt)
Note from asker:
I'm sure you have the right idea here
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : There is nothing about 'non-stick' in the source text, which wouldn't make any sense here in the context of cake decorating

carrier for dry adhesive

You don't give much information, but this could be about the use of sugar as a carrier for dry inhalers.

Oh, just saw the info that this is cakes - this could be a bit clinical in the context.

Just saw that this was about cakes, so this suggestion might be a bit clinical in the context, though I think it is about the adhesive qualities of sugar all the same. It would help to give more context when posting the question.
Note from asker:
Noting so technical - as I said in my original posting, this is in connection with the food industry, cakes etc

dry base

"applications that require the base to remain dry" or "applications where the base must remain dry"

The 'support de fixation' means the 'base' (cake, etc.)

It's expressed rather an odd way round compared to EN — it doesn't mean "the base must be dry for them to be applied", but rather "applying them must not make the base moist".
