At tye temps our funaces operate they've gone from doing just chemistry to chemistry and physics. You are changing the metal and it is releasing elements (periodic table of elements not the heater elements) the furnace won't like much.

Basically you are degassing/oxidizing that whole himk of metal every time you heat it.

I thought I solved a problem , looks like I making one 😖

I know I'm the only one who hates working with veneers but I came up with this a few years ago to help with one step. I use a glue stick first on the die to help stick veneers to them then make a putty holder-in-placer thing. It is awesome for checking excursions and occlusion. Can also smooth down remaining sprue on the incisal.

I actually bond veneers in place with soft tissue silicone, not for shading but to securely affix them for contour and adjustments. Evenly distributes forces when doing so. Tame the beast!

Hey guys, after posting a picture of my grinding box in another thread, I thought I would like to share a few other things that I have picked up that might come in handy to make life easier and save a bit of money too. I'd like to hear what you guys have come up with too.

My grinding box. It's a suggestion/ballot box I picked up from eBay. I just cut a hole in the front for the suction and holes rectangular holes in the sides for my arms.

Detol: I use this as a separating agent from my die stone to my base stone. Works really well and it's pretty cheap.

I love this little gadget! Just run your investment packet through it and it cuts like butter. No need for scissors or running a scalpel blade along your work bench.

I cut slits in the carpet to run my cords. I hate cords everywhere it just looks messy and can get in the way and the pedals pretty much stay put. You can always put some velcro on the pedals so it will stick to the carpet.

The lab never really smells nice. Until now.

I grabbed one of those car air fresheners you put on the air vent.

And put it on the monomer extractor.

The amount of slices you eat is only dependent on how you slice it. Make no cuts, then the entire thing just counts as one piece of pizza, easy.

I have a picture somewhere from a buddy's lab where a tech had drawn a pizza on one of the goof oof whiteboards and wrote

All pizzas are personal size if you believe in yourself.

Has anyone tried cooking in a burnout oven? Mini pizza? Cookies?
