Hi there ebob, I am currently studying dentistry, and I was wondering whether your sculpting tools are ex-dental instruments or produced by a similar company that manufactures these tools?
Just out of interest, because I am woking at the moment on cross infection. Some bugs may be able to survive even the most rigourous sterilisation procedures?
Not that I am trying to woory you guys or anything but...
Thanks
JC Dental

The tools are called wav carvers - so no, I don't think they are intented for dental work. Besides which they are new and not used. Nice to know my dentist uses crusty bug-ridden tools on me though.

although I guess if you work for a dentist or are a dentist, you could always steal the (sterilised) tools for sculpting

I think the word you're looking for is 'borrow'

in my sculpting, molding and casting catalogue i got today there is a section which sells dentists tools but they are exactly the same as my currently sculpting tools so they are most likly similar tools of the trade but about 500% more expensive . ill try to get a scan of the page if you wish?

hi again, that would be helpful if you could scan that in for me thanks.
I imagine the 500% price increase is due to the fact that the dental tools will have microscopically smooth surfaces, and will be made of very very tough stainless steel. This prevents any bugs from escaping/forming respectively. Also they need to withstand repeated use and autoclave sterilisation.
Thanks for thw help JC Dental

You could sculpt little faces on people's teeth. In Gold.
