• After cooling, the investment is removed from arround the edges of the casting ring to a depth of approx 6 –8 mm. The investment mass can be forced out of the retaining ring by pushing with the fingers.

The bulk of the investment material can be broken away from the casting with finger pressure.

The remaining casting should be removed with an air abrasive tool using 25 micron aluminum oxide at 40 p.s.I.
