Hold die by dowel pin in an inverted position over dipping well. Rest your finger on unit to steady your hand.

Dies with a deep central fossa, hold at 45° angle and roll die quickly into the wax. This will allow trapped air to escape.

Dip the die quickly into molten wax at least 2mm past marginal finish line and hold for 1 second in the wax.

Slowly withdraw die from wax. Pause 1mm above wax level to allow excess wax of die to be drawn back into well.

Posterior dies (bicuspids & molars) withdraw the die so that a cusp tip is the last point to leave the wax.

Hold the die in a vertical position for a few seconds prior to uprighting for examination, preventing molten wax from running down side of die. If not satisfactory, remove the coping, let cool, and repeat process.
