6) fabrication of the individual impression tray;
7) marking the relieving areas on the mucous membrane;
8) introduction of the impression tray into patient’s mouth in order to copy the relieving areas;

Begin with an anatomical impression and a cast; relief areas are marked on the mucosa only after the functional impression, and paste comes last.
