The fl at 9/20/2021 9/20/2021 surface makes that easy. My only gripe is that they lose their grit fairly quickly, which is why I like to start gross reduction with a Sof-Lex, then switch to the Super-Snap. ■ 9/20/2021 markshek Member Since: 12/13/01 Post: 11 of 22 Toof DK Member Since: 03/19/04 Post: 12 of 22 Townie1985 Member Since: 10/09/13 Post: 14 of 22 Toof DK Member Since: 03/19/04 Post: 16 of 22 Beautiful work! Can I ask how you heat your composite? ■ Thank you. I use either the Bioclear HeatSync or the Compex HD from AdDent. The Compex is good for these emergency cases because it heats the compule very quickly. ■ Nice work.
