Topic Subject : How to avoid Dimples in alginate? |
|
We have done two recent casts with both mold gel slow set and fibre gel, and have noticed quite a lot of dimples in the finishes casts. I think they are caused by the alginate bing pushed into the model as it sets.
We are using the process demonstrated by Dave in the casting the female torso DVD. (ie alginate, then cotton wool, then brush on dental plaster with cheese cloth.
I have an idea about which part of the process is causing it but wanted to ask the opinion of all those that have been doing this for far longer than us.
So who can tell me what is causing it and how to avoid it?
thanks
