[QUOTE="JohnWilson, post: 160588, member: 213"] I have no answer for how to take an impression as this is not my forte but as Rob states a custom tray will help. What I can state is if you think a full denture made with valplast will bend like you see in photos of valplast partials you are mistaken. When you inject this type of material with a buc/ling flanges it becomes rigid. The reason this material is contraindicated for full dentures is that injecting that much mass is near impossible to with out the material continuing to cool at a rate that will not fill the flask fast enough with out distortion. At least this is my experience with these sorts of materials. Frankly Valplast is the kleenex of flexible material but some of the newer systems seem much more advanced in how they heat and inject the flasks. Perhaps some of these materials are better suited for this I am not really sure? I started with Valplast and have stuck with it no matter how much I hate it as it sells it self but I would not bat an eyelash if I never saw a Valplast case again in my lab. [/QUOTE]
