I usually do the acrylic in 2 steps, depending on the anatomy of the lower arch. Some times I do it in 3 steps, post.R, then post. L, then anterior section. I have noticed that if I do make the lower too thick when I go to hone it down with an egg burr i& pumice it can make the acrylic pull away slightly from the model. So I have made adj. in my acrylicing to avoid putting on too much acrylic to begin with. I hate to admit this but, when I first started, I used to put the monomer on 1st then the polymer and not the other way around. I later realized the importance of using polymer 1st on the model. Crazy little tricks I have missed out on not working in a large ortho lab.
