The impression I'm using for in-office same day models - 1. impression with correctly sized tray - I use the Invisalign trays because they seem to fit really well with very few show-throughs. 2. Base material is Silginate, sets in 90-seconds (for retainers, bleach trays single phase only - meaning: only the Silginate, sometimes if there is a tiny edge of exposed tooth past the edge of material and I identify this early enough, I will add some material using a Monoject syringe with the tip 1/2 cut off, and add a little bit, with the tray still in.) 3. If I need to do the impression as a two-phase, I will add a little bit of Panasil X-Light, but, I only do this for Invisalign cases, where the stakes for accuracy are higher, when I add this then, it is a 3minute 30seconds set time.

On this demo, the sheet is interchangeable. But, there is a hard soft material that I use with my newer unit that the soft side should be facing toward the model.
I use SnapStone, which I usually order from Darby (it comes in a 35-lb bag,) it sets in about 5-7 minutes, but, I recommend that you give it closer to 7-minutes so that it is a little harder when you pull it to prevent fractured off incisals on the centrals. [sorry for the slow reply]
Just wandering what type of mold is that for the teeth? Greatly would be appreciated to know!!

which way does the biocryl material face so you know it is not backwards or wrong way around?

Which type dental stone was used to make the model?
