[QUOTE="Mike2, post: 23902, member: 943"] You could use the hydraulic jack for its double ram, but the swedger is nothing more than a capped cylinder with clay. You would not really need the pedestal but just a mound of clay on a good solid bench. If I could draw it, it would look like a plastic pop cap, but longer. This would have about 2-3 inches of modeling clay inside. Then you take the foil cover prep wrapped in saran wrap and push it in with the pin down. Then you'd have the same size clay filled cap that you'd line up with the other and smack them with a dead blow hammer(Home depot) The one from Captek is just very easy to use, but I know dental techs' are creative so let see what you come up with. I agree with the above post, the first firing then crack it up with swedger again and fill spaces, after that the mg's should stay put. Any correction on mg's were done with low fusing pulled from extra die for verification. [/QUOTE]
