Q

If you remove your impression from the
mouth, rinse it off, and then wrap the
impression with a wet paper towel, what
will happen?

A

alginate absorbs more water as it continues to harden and the material swells

now anything made from that impression will NOT fit because the model has distorted as it absorbed water
