[QUOTE="NickB, post: 219986, member: 16905"] Well, today I sat my ass down and WATCHED the waxers sprue everything. Turns out they are heating up the bar in order to bend it, then spruing the bridges to it after it mildly cools. So, this is likely the main reason that the bridges are warping. Today, I made it known to them that they need to cut the bar if they need to bend it, then either glue it back or use wax to reconnect it. But they must let it set up and cool before spruing onto the bar if they do this. We'll see if this fixes the issue. I will still post photos today or tomorrow to show how they are sprued from the machine as sometimes I use a stabilizer bar. Nick [/QUOTE]
