    hydrocolloid hacks

    We have used the microwave, you just gotta play with the power levels and time. I'd do 30-second increments. After I'm done with i chop it up in cubes and save it in a Tupperware bin

    Pressure pot

    That is a really nice thing! I'm gonna be putting together my list, as I nervously wait for my registration confirmation and practice some more bending. I always feel like it's not good enough.

    Pressure pot

    SUCCESS! I started with the gasket, replaced it by buying a 3-pack from Amazon for $10. the 9" ones, that happen to also fit instapots? but whatever, it works now yay!.

    Pressure pot

    I ordered a pair of 9" gaskets, hopefully, that will fix the problem. If that doesn't, my next step will be to replace the air inlet valve, I'm just having trouble finding one.

    Pressure pot

    I have a Nevin DensAir pneumatic curing unit, the gasket seems to need replacing since it no longer keeps the air in, and also I think I might need to change the air valve to introduce air. I just can't seem to find the parts I need. I know this is an older model and I can't seem to find the...

    Ortho CDT materials

    I figure I have to bring my own acrylic, burs, rouge, wires, etc. Was just wondering if there was an actual list given or if anyone here had experience with it and could advise on what equipment/materials they wish they had brought with them and didn't, or which ones they brought and wish they...

    Jobs in Sweden?

    Its one of those places i've always liked, plus it checks many of the boxes in what I like. I lived in Italy for 2 years, and while i liked that part of Europe, i always prefered Nordic countries.

    Eclipse resin (specifically the clear)

    I like the eclipse curing system just for nightguards, and to cure triad material as it cures a custom tray in 30 seconds. but other than that, as someone already mentioned before, for dentures, is not effective enough to replace other methods and techniques already in place. What I'm wondering...
