From a text about pin drills, dental impressions and suchlike. I'm not sure what "entspannen" means exactly in relation to silicone. TIA for your help. |

So many thanks Bernd, and thanks also to the peer graders for added confirmation. Appreciate everyone's help. Sorry the late grade - for some odd reason, I thought I'd already graded this!
