I think a phoney cop pulled you over because we have lots of Mitsubishi cars here.

Funny, Yes we have Home depot and a Lowes. Where and how do you put the filters in place? I have an older style sandblaster not a nice one like Al's.

I can't help it....mmmmmm

Just a question how can I prevent moisture in my glass bead container. What can I do any tips.

I use the hemostats to pull off the abutment, otherwise it's a pain to try to get off. Here's another thing we do after we wax we make an acrylic placement jig for the abutments so that when we take them on and off it goes back in the exact spot it was when it was waxed. We also send this...

Yes I know, I wanted to hear people input on this. What's with the Bicon that you don't like in the lab? The Bicon is a "morse taper" type connection.

This was a busy post thanks for all your imput. LOL Tri lobe connection will have anti rotation therefore you can tell that the abutment is placed only a certain way. Hex internal connection also will have the anti rotation Hex external connection, does well with multiple unit cases like...

what colour is the paste, I have green and a reddish paste but I'm not sure of the name of it. So from the start how would you start your polishing procedure for Argedent 86 yellow gold type metal. Some of the others here have given me pointers which improved the overall shine but still time...

"Check with Norbert at Argen on your use of Agelite71, Norbert told me ..." Norbert he's still around, I met him years ago when he came to Canada to visit our lab and put on 2 day info session.

BruceQuality you said..."this only happens during the shoulder bake, not when the opaque is applied the first time." this is weird, check you firing temps, do you calibrate your furnaces?

We do two layers of opaque. During the first layer will make sure to have an 80 % coverage, I place my honey comb tray on a coffee warmer plate which I have plugged in on my bench for this purpose only "I swear" to let my copings dry, before I put it in the furnace. I make sure I'm not putting...

when DR wants everything at once, at my work when we get combo cases that need crowns and partial, we do the crowns first then when they are done pass finished crowns to the casting department for the partial part:). I don't mind doing it the other way where crowns are done last.

sixonice, I have tried those coloured polishers like u said, I have a set of those. I don't mind it on a smaller area of metal like the occlusion of bi-cuspid or the metal on the lingual sides of anteriors, but when it comes to a bigger molar, for me it looks less scratchy doing it with brown...

get different skinnier mounting plates or trim some of the base off your cut model to make it fit on the articulator.

So today I polished another 86 PFM case which had metal occlusion, so I did like what you said although I had no zinc oxide powder or proper propylene glycol instead I used tin oxide powder mixed with Windex (glass cleaner stuff) a salesman told me it's like propylene glycol . Anyways it...

We do empress when Dr asks for it, thats what they want, normally it's usually emax.

At our lab we also have done emax over metal or zirconia abuts, we also have done IPS empress esthetic on implants to, when the metal abut is used we will put a layer of opaque on the abut so that the metal doesn't shine through the empress. For emax bridges we've only done them in 3 units any...

I had another 86 metal case in which they want full metal occlusion with buccal porcelain come in today. I will take your tips into consideration and let you guys know how it goes. The crown should be ready to polish maybe mid week. We'll see how it goes with that zinc oxide powder, I'll keep...

:confused:Hello once again I need some input. We have certain doctors that like their PFM's casted in Argedent 86 yellow gold. I need tips on how to polish this type of metal nicely for when they ask for a PFM with full metal occlusion and the buccal in porcelain. I have no issues with...
