Rather Dazzle PS can be a compliment to a gradually finer option to flour pumice in the process before polishing. Some of the added benefits of using Dazzle PS are that it dries quickly when not in use. This helps avoid buildup of odor from retained moisture, providing a more sanitary option. In addition, Dazzle PS cuts easier and is gentler on the hands. So the next time you need to finish acrylic, Dazzle PS could be great choice to obtaining a finely polished prosthesis.   [![contact-technical-support-blog-cta](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/111220/d58036b3-90e7-42d1-8ba2-e5922a5cf09b.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/111220/d58036b3-90e7-42d1-8ba2-e5922a5cf09b) ## Leave a comment ![Will Devine, CDT, TE](https://info.whipmix.com/hs-fs/file-1313656723-jpg/images/Will_Devine%2c_OLD-resized-600.jpg) Written by [Will Devine, CDT, TE](https://info.whipmix.com/author/will-devine-cdt-te) Will Devine, CDT, TE is retired from the United States Air Force and has over 28 years of dental laboratory experience.
