"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 that our socket is taped up, we can get it ready to be filled. We'll secure the socket in the sandbox here and keep it from tilting over when the plaster is added. 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."
