Hi Jo, Generally, three columns of modeling clay are used - two posterior to the mastoid processes and one between the central incisors (making sure not to obscure prosthion). Make sure they are tall enough to allow you to digitize basal features. This way the standard landmarks are not obscured. The amount of residue transfer is minimal.
