Using Dental Acylic and Making Fangs:
Now it's time to fill the alginate mold you just made with dental acrylic. Squeeze in enough white acrylic powder to fill the fang cavity. With an eyedropper or pipette add a couple drops of the dental liquid. Mix the 2 together using a small tool or a tongue depressor cut to a point. Be careful not to tear the alginate. It will mix easily. If you need, add more powder or liquid. Overfill the cavity if you feel you need to, as any excess will be filed off later after it cures. You only have a few minutes before the dental acrylic sets up so you will need to place the plaster mold of your teeth into the alginate side where you mixed the acrylic as soon as possible.
