[QUOTE="RetainerDesigner, post: 12474, member: 40"] I think you found my problem! I was beginning to suspect this and was slowly adding more liquid ( or less powder). I was using a 2 powder to 1 liquid ratio. and I was getting "ghost spots" all over the place! Plus as I was pouring into the liquid it was setting to fast before I could get all the powder in. Im gonna try this dough method next time with Variflex ( its my favorite way with cold cure splints!) I did try it the first time, with bad results, Hence the splint I can test on. I guess I gave up too easily on the cold cure. I saw that it bonded to it, but it still didn't like the flexing I submitted it to. Of course, im sure most patients will not flex it like I did!:D Plus I have the liquid in the refrigerator ( a little experiment for next time),I though it being cold would give me more mixing time, what do you think? do you wax any borders ( or hot glue in Labdude's case) as you would with a salt and pepper technique? and push the acrylic against it, Or is the material rubbery enough at that point that you "wrap " it around the occlusion that it doesn't go any where? @Kreyer I like the flasking technique too. I did it a couple of times in school, with great results. But I never invested in flasking equipment. [/QUOTE]
