[QUOTE="adamb4321, post: 53803, member: 838"] I've tried various one pour tray systems and whilst the initial pouring is quick they take longer to trim up to a nice finish, also they are very prone to dust/debris preventing the segments from seating properly if your not scrupulous about keeping your models clean, this is especially true when you saw out your dies as dust can tend to get compacted onto the bottom of the model leading to discrepancies. I haven't tried Monotrac but did try a similar system which did my head in as the retention holes in the bottom of the model frequently broke off leading at best a messy looking model or at worst a die with no real location or the dies were nearly impossible to remove on setting. For me the best system is Girrbachs Giroform, it's quick, accurate and produces great looking models easily, the puttying up stage can look time consuming but if you use a stone that stacks nicely you don't really need to box in the buccal side of the imp.
