Hi, If you have experience of earmould impression taking, I would appreciate your advice. As a beginner I'm not sure what the best sequence is. I know you start injecting the resin with the syringe/gun nozzle at the otoblock ... but how do you clearly define the concha and helix edges etc whilst maintaining flow without creases, air bubbles etc? What sequence/movements/tricks do YOU use to get a precise, fault free impression? [I have tried various sequences whilst making the impression - but my results are variable ... I'm sure there must be a "best" way] Thanks! regards, Richard --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
