I'm really gonna put myself out there and let you guys have at me for a few.
Can y'all share some tips on how you do margins/ how to prevent shying up margins? I was doing fine for a long time, now i'm sometimes trashing 2-4/day and recasting. Aggravating, and makes you nervous each coping you pick up. Not to mention lost metal, time, die wear, slipping dates, boss reaction...
Biggest weirdness I can note is that my margins & fit are fine at one time, then (edit:when I'll put it back on to check reduction of sprue or think it's ready to be handed off the margin) will be turned under and/or coping is tight fitting requiring them to be redone or taken off w/ rubber wheel, sometimes it's a missed overextension that can't really be seen, at least by me, sometimes it kills the coping...
aaaaaaargggggghhhh.
Please, anything you can think of that helps you, or your process steps, or what tells you to lay off (it before it foils),or that you'd tell someone you're training even may help.
I'm losing (the rest of) my mind.
