[QUOTE="JMN, post: 263821, member: 8469"] Definitely remove the excess. That is a great part of why trial packing is a good idea. It lets you remove the excess acrylic that prevents the denture flask from closing completely, altering VD of the acrylic processed denture VS the waxed denture. Just cut 1-2 mm from the edge of the tooth/saddle area. Don't use hardly any pressure at all. I don't even use a scalpel blade, just whichever lab knife is handy. The now reduced overall amount of material will be squished out of the intentional acrylic location as the flask closes farther being able to close farther because there is less material, so the PSI on the offending material increases.
