Substitute dental supplies separating medium

A standard substance to prevent wax from sticking to the die is “Slaycris” or some other comparable brand.

Of course, this may not be listed in your dental catalog or supply store.

If you need a separating medium and you cannot locate a quick and easy source of supply, go to Pep Boys (or any auto supply store) and purchase a quart of Anti-Freeze (Ethylene Glycol). Transfer it to a small bottle, label the bottle, and place it in your laboratory.

The anti-freeze can be applied to the die with a brush. And it also works great!
