"TONY KAPECHUK: Hi, my name is Tony. And on behalf of Expert Village, I'll be showing you how to turn this check socket into a laminated definitive prosthesis.

Now, we'll get some water in this bucket here and get our plaster mixed up. I use warm water. It will help the plaster set a little bit quicker. Now, we can go ahead and attach our mixer to our drill. I'll start off by adding a couple of scoops of plaster, and we'll mix it thoroughly. Okay. Now, we're ready to fill our cast. Now, we'll place in our pipe."
