Experience Diamond 'D' v Lucitone

[bigj1972]

In my opinion, pour=poor.
If you need a case fast you can microwave it using either Diamond D 20 minute or heat cure monomer. Using the 20 minute, you microwave for 4 minutes, with the heat cure it takes 9 minutes total at different power levels. Bench cool for 20 minutes and cold water for 5 minutes. So in no more than a half hour you have compression packed appliance.

100% agree, but not everything is a cook. Sometimes you need a hands on application. And with new generation of pours, you have a universal high impact acrylic to use as you need to. No longer need shrink and stink.

The difference is the stone setting time.

If you use slurry when you invest it sets up very quickly.

Let’s not forget about all the time hunched over a bench investing with plaster (especially multi tooth partials) and then all the time divesting. I get it. I love diamond d. Beautiful color. Hard as a rock. But.

What do you invest pour acrylic in? Isn't it hydrocolloid? My hydrocolloid takes like 30-45 minutes to cool properly. Also how would you hold the wires for the multi tooth flipper?

Some people use putty instead of using a pour flask.

Yes to the colloid. 30 secs to invest, 30 mins to cool. On the wires, I super glue them to the model.

5 yrs pooring. Still going strong. Not one complaint about monomer. Maybe one tooth pop out per yr. Once I get a doc that cares and wants to pay, I’ll inject.

Second the super glue. From time to time they break off because the investment had an undercut. Doing it so long I can have a handful of broken plaster and stone with wire clasp come off and still put it together. Kind of like solving a puzzle with missing pieces.

Putty and super glue are your best friends.

What acrylic you use?… Ive been using nature cryl and probase for a long time.. Ive been trying the one from Udler for partials also.. but I prefer probase

Excel pour. Not the high impact. The regular.
