Q

set gypsum? disinfectant? alc?

Beware of Interactions when pouring cast

A

*Gypsum that has already set acts as a catalyst when in contact with unset gypsum and can cause changes in the set and working times.
*Excessive disinfectant solution or water can give you unset or powdery gypsum at the surface.
*Make sure that your impressions are clean and only slightly damp before you pour.
*Excessive use of alcohol based surfactants or debubblizers can also create surface issues like softness or chalkiness
