[QUOTE="Gru, post: 166389, member: 7032"] I acknowledge this is a digression from the thread topic. My apologies. As some here know, I made my own- and some "gifted" plunger formers. Since the disposable plungers are made from investment "waste" at the end of the ring pour, there's no added cost. The time used can be measured in seconds since the investment is rapidly approaching set up. They have the exact same strength and density as the invested ring. The decision to pursue disposable plungers came after ivo started selling disposable plungers for their 300g ring, in my mind a default acknowledgement they work. Not all of the formers have served well. For some reason- probably ratio used for the silicone- the expansion isn't correct on a few, making them useless. As to the cleaning of the alox plungers, using their separator makes it less of a hassle to be sure, but disposable are no hassle at all- not to mention some days I needed more plungers than I had in the alox and no time to divest & clean them. My 2cents. [/QUOTE]
