Abstract
The use of cast wedging is decreasing. Previous described methods are complicated, using geometric calculations that can be confusing and difficult to remember. We describe a very simple method we use routinely that involves a pen, a piece of paper and a pair of scissors only, without the need to calculate or measure angles.
