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.
