LIO Random Tips™
Gypsum Molding
Materials: If you cannot find Ultra-Cal 30 Stone
outside USA, I hear that a brand called Crystacal R (in
the UK) may be substituted. Other option: Internationally-worldwide, every
major city has Dental Supply companies. You can use
Dental Stone (not plaster) which have different names from
dental suppliers; the Stone with the least expansion of about .07%
or less. Also, do not get Dental Stone fortified with
resin. I do not know how that re-acts to baking & foam rubber
latex. Just use the harder density, dental gypsum stones.
