[QUOTE="Edy, post: 115220, member: 4491"] Hi guys , suddenly i dont know what i changed in my own investment of wax before casting the metal , its sure something small but i cant figure it out , its a new problem i get in my metals , after i cast the bridges i find these annoying holes like caves into the thickness of my pointics or where i make the metal thicker into occlusion of a crown i get the same thing .How i see this.... it start when i see a very small hole , i try to eliminate it but while i start to grind it over and over the hole gets bigger and wider like an empty pool inside the pontic or the thick metal , OH and i get this in the leading sprue , what i mean sprue is the part of metal from which the melted metal passed until reaches the crowns , when i hit with the hammer the bottom of the cast ring to open the investment i see some bars of metal just fall apart form each other with the same kind of small/big hole/s , dont get me wrong the crowns in the end of the construction come out fine , problem is in pontics and thick metals , siiiiiiighhh . I am sure there is some logical reason why this is happening , and thats why i am thankful this site is available , maybe someone can share with me the solution for this, thanks. [/QUOTE]
