[QUOTE="HonestAbe, post: 340855, member: 25390"] Yes I have a multi-orrifice tip. I only recently even learned that flux was a thing. I can feel you all wincing but honestly I kinda got thrown into the deep end and I'm trying to figure things out on the fly. The arm is balanced from what I can tell, it's quiet and smooth. As for weighing the patterns to estimate the alloy needed, if you look at the pictures I'm using PMMA milled crowns that I cut the margins off and wax them back (since usually the mill isn't quite as nice as the margins need to be, but the occlusion anatomy is good). I imagine the PMMA weighs different than the wax so I'm guessing I might have to adjust any chart I find slightly. So far I've just been guessing (and using more alloy than needed). [/QUOTE]
