[QUOTE="lcmlabforum, post: 236997, member: 3238"] This is in the FWIW department. Used to do beading rope wax, then box, invert with water to make sure it is water tight seal. Then also tried the pumice and plaster - esp. in dental school setting - students can end up scraping against the impression material/peel if rough. Now, time is money, and easiest to used generic alginate to box, and I can box even plastic stock trays. Cost of alginate measured against time trimming a final impression to get proper land area etc that my lab will appreciate. Easier to trim without disturbing the impression itself, just need to learn the mix for proper consistency. And no, you do not need separator if boxing another alginate impression even - will not stick. I even box my reline impressions. Used to use those expensive magnetic strips (Hardware store ones often have a sticker layer you have to peel away) . Have been using old Panoramic xray films that are expired - just run through machines to use fixer to remove the emulsion, split into 2 halves, then use paper clip to hold while boxing and rubber band to hold while pouring. Again, just my 2 cents. LCM [/QUOTE]
