Impression Mixing Tips

About mixing tips

A mixing tip screws onto the cartridge and mixes the base and the catalyst as they are pressed through it. Makers colour-code them: one set of instructions pairs a white-base tip with heavy body material and a red-base tip with light body. To keep voids out of the impression, a review describes holding the tip fully immersed in the material being syringed, with a steady flow rate.

The disposable part: used mixers are discarded and the cartridge is resealed with its original cap.
