Does anyone have a method for pulling a flexible inner socket, such as proflex or orfitrans, with a sock over the positive model without leaving the sock weave pattern inside? I find myself in situations where the socket needs slight expansion and going through the process of fabricating a test socket exclusively for the purpose of removing this patten is a waste of time and materials. I have tried a well dried PVA bag and a latex casting balloon with no sucess. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
