[QUOTE="Clear Precision Dental, post: 9388, member: 499"] I liked the orange on the occlusal surface. It added some great depth. I forgot to thank you for that. What other occlusal shades to you use. It was easier since I was doing the 3M2 "just like the instructor!" Do you do anything "special" with the opaques? Ie. 1 shade darker along the gingival, interproximal areas with a darker shade, incisal opaque on the cusp tips, etc???? Seems like I am always just using straight one-color opaque for the whole thing, with a sprinkle of margin porcelain for my last layer for better mechanical retention and light diffraction. (Got this tip from a mag.) I use a glass rod to apply my opaque. I was getting some cracks during the final adjustment stages when I used a brush. I still have a hard time opaquing the interproximal of bridges. The opaque wants to fill inbetween, and when I fire the opaque the interproximal shrinks, tears and gets rough and ugly. Other tricks or ideas? (I'm all ears). [/QUOTE]
