Processing
Excess of separating agents may cause reactions with the investment material and affect the press result.
Disperse excess material with compressed air before investment.
– Fill liquid into the mixing cup.
– Add powder.
– Thoroughly mix investment material with a spatula for 20 seconds until even wetting of the powder is
achieved.

The processing time depends on the material temperature, mixing quantity, mixing time and mixing intensity.
A higher material temperature and/or a longer mixing time shortens the processing time.
