[QUOTE="Alan JDL, post: 262296, member: 2733"] I should have been more clear in my first post, then there wouldn't have been any confusion in the first place. That's what makes this site so great. Everybody has their own way of doing it. When we press the baseplate material into the retention, you do it so it does get mechanical retention but does not totally encase the mesh on the framework. Holds way more solid than wax and comes off easily when taking an alcohol torch to it. The OP was asking about something more robust than just regular wax and I gave a solution that has worked for me in the past. I get that time is money, which is one of the reasons we pour process most of these cases. I also get that a less experienced tech may introduce more problems having to take frameworks off so that is something to take into consideration. But we are a small lab and all our techs have years of experience and are more than qualified to remove frames from models without tweaking them. [/QUOTE]
