I like to use Renfert's Pro Form 12 liquid in the porcelain as it holds the form better while adding the morphology. As in my waxing course, I start with the mesial buccal, distal buccal. mesial lingual and finish with the distal lingual. By doing the steps you can add internal stains between each step which looks very natural after firing. Below are some pic's from a demo I did in Chicago a few years ago.

Russ,
You got some crazy talents brother when it comes to anatomy, Lovin' it. As for your Renfert's Pro Form 12 liquid, I'm wondering, is this for just high-fusing or can you use it for low fusing porcelain, and is there an all-ceramic version out there as well? Do you push doing more pressables versus traditional pfm because of the waxing advantage.....just curious? What kind (manufacture) of pressable's give you the best result? Okay, I'll shut up before you tell me I have to attend one of your classes.....hehehehe Which wouldn't be a bad idea, one more full mouth out the door with no problems and my self-esteem may be at it's peak........what better way to bring it down, then watch you for a period time..........I'm not worthy.....lol
