* Note:
The two model discs supplied are
are used alternately.
The model disc absorbs heat during each
thermoforming process. To allow it to cool
down, the second model disc is used for the
following thermoforming process.
For easier changing, the model disc remains on the
thermoformed foil when removing the models.
After removal, separate the model disc from the models
and the foil.
