Some posted a “roller” to be able to reuse the excess we save. Anyone know of this?

And you can make home made tortillas for lunch!
Seems to me it actually COSTS you money to save your $1.50.So what I used to do is make a patty of stone, flatten it out, fold over a sheet of baseplate wax and cut it to the general size of the sheets of light-cure material, and vaseline one side of the wax. Then I counter sink that vaselined side into the wet patty. Let that set up. After setting, peel out the wax. Gather all your little scraps. Kinda start to form a little patty out of them. If you put the patty on the end of the knife and hold it over the flame of a bunsen-burner, it gets REALLY easy to work with. Then you're ready to mould! IMPORTANT: Lube up the impression of before laying in your patty of light cure scraps, otherwise it'll stick to the mould. Get a roller, I like the silicone rollers cuz the material tends to stick less to them. Roll your scraps into a sheet of light cure material.Wallah! You now have fabricated a sheet of lc material saving approximately $1.50 per sheet!
The first lab I worked at, we had a slab of stone that had an indenttation the same size and thickness of an old shellac baseplate.I also use scrap to make a screw retained base/bar for hybrid trials.
As for the rolling pin... back in the olden times we had a wood tablet with a lip and matching roller intended for uniform trays and bases out of autocure tray resin. Have one on my bench now.
Honestly, is there anything we can't make out of stone or cold cure? I feel like I've seen a lot.The first lab I worked at, we had a slab of stone that had an indenttation the same size and thickness of an old shellac baseplate.
Decent techs. Although hammers with stone centers wrapped in cold cure can beat a lot of compliance into them if not sense.Honestly, is there anything we can't make out of stone or cold cure? I feel like I've seen a lot.
Ashtrays cast in stone. Mold is rubber bowl pushed up through the bottom. Picked that up first week in school. 'Course nowadays nobody wants an ashtray...Decent techs. Although hammers with stone centers wrapped in cold cure can beat a lot of compliance into them if not sense.
They are really the universal materials. Even being able to tap decent cold cure extends it farther.

Many years ago, I had a car that I loved. It had and extra drop of paint on one of the corners of the trunk. This caused a hole in the tail light assembly and caused it to fill with water and basically fry the light bulbs. The garage told me that it needed a whole new assembly to pass inspection. I went to the garage with a drill and some GC resin. I drilled a hole in the lower corner to drain the water and plugged the hole with a little GC resin. This predated smart phones but I wish that I had a video of the car tech trying to break the GC patch by pushing it with a screwdriver. Small win but satisfying!!Decent techs.
