Dear List Members,
Does anyone know of a way to duplicate an existing Symes (or any significantly bulbous) socket without necessitating cutting of the socket to remove it from the mold? I'm concerned that alginate would be too soft and a Duplicone too rigid. Ideally, I'd like to be able to transfer the alignment, but the priority is duplication of the socket contours.
