I do no recommend surface decal, but if you must use a formic acid product. Rinse the block several times to remove decal before cutting a section. Always better to go to the source and adjust time in decal and method for determining end point before processing.

Hi all, I would like your opinion on the best way to achieve many few
decent sections of calcified material.
IED by Biocare,a strong acid solution, any input would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
