I also never saw the bite material posted.
Well, what do you charge for your dentures?K.I.S.S.
NEVER use wax solvents OR DETERGENTS in your boilout procedure. Why spend money to add complication to your procedure? BLEACH IS BAD for acrylic. Do you think laundry soap has bleach? What else does it have that gets soaked up by the stone during boilout when the water is evaporating from your flask halves and leeches out during your curing cycle. FRESH CLEAN WATER in your boilout. That's IT! . I do not want to complicate or add costs. $5 in stone to invest a case???? The cost of IVOCAP ACRYLICS??? How do you guys afford to stay in business? PLEASE SHARE!!!
Hi Gman,
Where I always found that stone would stick to the acrylic (no matter the processing method) was if during boil out I let the wax liquefy before opening the flask. When this happens the wax soaks into the stone and then no amount of separator will work. I worked out in my equipment how long to "boil-out" the flask to just soften the wax enough to be able to open the flask and then peel out the majority of the wax, then I would flush the mold with boiling water to remove any remaining wax.
Also, I know you said you are using Type III stone for flasking, just make sure it is not a resin reinforced stone. We have found that the resin in the stone will heat up enough to bond with the acrylic on the denture.
I hope this helps! Let me know.
It is. I won't even use it at wax up.I hear the wax solvent, is another culprit in stone sticking.
Worked like charm!!!!! Thank you. Conventional Flasks 4:45minutes in boiling water. It's soft enough to separate . Haven't had no problems with stone sticking to acrylic any longer! After boil out i make sure the flasks are not steaming any longer and then I paint them 3 times (light coats) and they come out excellent!!!

Ive found siltech can lose definition, and shift a little even with the super.sil-tec instead of flexistone
Hi
Perhaps a bit off topic, but why do people use wax boil outs vs the anaxadent process? Is it cost, time?
Just trying to learn the process from an insider's view.
Thanks
