Is anyone using has used Astron Ultraflex? I have done a couple of cases with it I am curious to see if what others with more experience with it think about it. They took their soft-liner off the market and IMO was a great product. TIA.

Someone I work with (an oral maxillo-facial prosthodontist) asked me to get a price on a wrought wire clasp and a weld to secure the clasp to the cast frame. Would anybody care to take a guess what I was quoted? I'm just looking for opinions and input here as to what would be considered the norm...
There are things that I need done by outside labs. Cast partials and Dura-flex. Being new to the region have tried a few labs and overall the work has been acceptable. But, we'll call this lab, Lab A. I went to Lab A and talked to the department head about case I had for them. I very...

Big shout out to the folks at Whip-mix. My (almost) antique vacuum mixer quit drawing vacuum. Instead of the usual, "That is so old we don't have parts you'll have to buy a new one" answer, I was told in great detail what to do and it solved the problem!! I wish I could remember his name. Thanks...
Only used in a prosthodontic practice by the Doctor who purchased it new. I don't need it. These are around 3K new. Buyer will pay shipping, COD only. Any reasonable offer will be accepted. An affordable way to pinch your fingers.
Have a case that the patient wants teeth so white their smile illuminates a cave. I mean, Southern California porcelain urinal white!! Recommendations? TIA.
This curing unit has developed a mind of it's own. Have any you ever worked on one of these? If it is plugged in it bypasses the main power switch and runs straight to boil with the switch in the off position. I talked to the service center and they say that it is old and they may have to order...
This is in this months LMT.

Just got my issue and was wondering if any one on the forum has read this, and if so, what are your thoughts? Mid-size labs are through, little guys will consolidate (be absorbed) by big box labs and let's mill more units and charge even less? LMT calls Mr. Glidewell an "industry icon". Is...
I need to a source for these muslin wheels, they have plastic center that is blue. I am guessing they are made in Germany. I'll be very grateful if one of you has knowledge of these and can tell me where to get them. They are NOT common. TIA.
