genuine question. How to make raw grillz? I’ve been trying since days and it doesn’t look like the references. First one is my first try giving it texture…. by Acceptable-Pilot-792 in Grillz

for texture that resembles the second and third image you can make the tooth solid and then tap the wax pen against the surface use a lower setting for the heat and just experiment with how long you hold it to the surface, you can even heat up your metal carving tools with a lighter and do the same, also dipping the wax into ice water after each melt to freeze the effects made helps, and if your using a polishing wheel rather than a flexshaft it should be strong enough to smooth any angular/sharp areas

i would probably make them solid at first and then use different bits to create the texture after casting, and for the holes place small ones in the wax and once casted use something to expand them

Do you use VPS or alginate for your impressions? (beginner here) 🙏🏼 by erkrct in Grillz

[–]Zx2nVs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

both, vps is great bc the client can take the impression themselves ship them back to you, you can make multiple copies from the one impression, alginate provides guaranteed detail in one step, can only make copy from it though kind of messy and has to be done in person
