Hi everyone!! New here but def not new to this wonderful crazy hectic sometimes I'd rather be running around on fire business......LOL
Truly new you guys help with this question and would like to get opinions and actual technical facts. I myself have what i think is a solid reasoning behind my thoughts on it. On the other hand my other half/also a denture tech has his what to me does not make sense opinion on it. We have a lab in Louisiana and was showing a new hire traditional flasking and packing when the new hire told me after boiling out the cases she had been scrapping away the excess stone that flows out the flask all around it. Not just the loose pieces and not the edges around the model that's in the bottom. The stone that comes out all around when the second half is being done because of the 2 parts of the flask not closing together all the way. Like literally scrapping that from the edges all around the 2 parts of the flask. OK, so that's basically my question..... In my mind i say that is not correct to do and was actually taught that 20 something years ago in a flasking class given by a Ivoclar tech. See 2 me that stone is now the new surface instead of the actual metal surface. Easy to understand in my mind......LOL May be 100% wrong though. On the crazy a** other end the old man is telling me that don't matter one bit. That the pressure is in the middle of the flask and so on. That to me has nothing to do with the fact that you have now broken away the new surface that is closed flush together. Sorry first post is so long and maybe a lil over explained but I'm truly trippin he don't understand the concept behind what i am seeing in the issue. Or like i said maybe i am 10% wrong. PLEASE HELP
