    Hi Folks, Somewhere along the lines I picked up some instructions
    from a fellow named Derek Levin, describing the use of alginate and
    Van-Rock, two dental materials, to create forms for making settings
    for unusually shaped faceted stones. I was able to purchase some of
    each from a local dental supply house, but the Van-Rock did not come
    with mixing instructions. I could probably come up with a good
    proportion through trial and error, but can anyone actually advise
    me? And a follow up question... is tap water okay, or is this a good
    time to use distilled? You out there, Skip Meister? 

Thanks in advance,
Dave
