I had a similar set up using an old air drive handpiece foot petal.View attachment 26342 I do have an air hose next to me but I use this set up most of the time. Everything from the Shofu lab air Z high speed except the hand piece. Saves a lot of time not reaching for the air hose each time I need to blow air.
I did a really nice wax up for a big case, the Dr. gave it to the patient so he could bring it home to show his wife. He left it in the car for the afternoon..... happened to be one of the days during our 3 week summer.Like the assistant who put my C & B diagnostic wax up under the heating element to do a suck down for the temps....
I now duplicate my C & B hand wax ups in alginate, and pour up a white stone cast for a back up.
Doing it with CAD/CAM is really a nice feature in being able to hit a couple of mouse clicks and getting it re-milled.
You're making me envy...we got only 3 days of summer and last year it didn't fell on a weekend...bummer.... happened to be one of the days during our 3 week summer.
Bulldog clips to the rescue. Love these things.
I wasn't about to sit here and hold this till the super glue dried so I could take a matrix.

Had to put somethin' up there, first time I took it the real deal was hanging and thankfully I realized it.Almost freaked out a little when I saw the slip with all that information then I realized
Wipe it off with a paper towel and cap immediately after use, allowing none to build up, or for any at the tip to set from the air moisture exposure.Any tips on keeping the Cyanoacrylate bottle tip from gunking up as time goes on?
Huh, never had it do that to me. But your vaseline application is definitely worth exploring.I tried that but invariably you get pieces of tissue stuck to the tip.
I think I came up with a foolproof way of avoiding this nasty, time waster issue-
Just coat the tip all the way up from the base to the hole of the tip with Vaseline. You do it once and it will last a long time- any extra
glue that spills out onto the outside of the tip will just lift off very easily. Recap immediately (the cap will now always close all the way) to prevent any air to cure what's left in the tip.

That's a nice set up . I have a similar thing with two blue hoses triggered by a foot pedal ,couldn't work without it now .View attachment 26342 I do have an air hose next to me but I use this set up most of the time.

i toss the caps once i open them. they end up all over the place and forgotten anyway. a push pin works well.I tried that but invariably you get pieces of tissue stuck to the tip.
