[QUOTE="highscore, post: 241117, member: 2969"] You are making way too much work for yourself. Seriously. You shouldn't have to go through all of this misery dude. PVS is the worst impression material for final impressions on gingival tissue. It's great for dentition but for tissue duplication you're better off with a polyether material like Impregum F. In my 25 years of making dentures, PVS has always resulted in poor retention. It folds over, traps air. Many others will disaggree, but[B] [COLOR=#ff0000][I]for completely edentulous mucosal duplication PVS is pure garbage[/I][/COLOR].[/B] My suggestion is to chuck the current denture and start over.
