Oh ya and I forgot to ask. Assuming this etches. I know I know. that seems like a stupid question. But gotta ask

Al I didn't see what investment you are using for this?

We are still using EMAX but switched over to JP VEST and our reaction layer is non existent now. With IVOCLAR's speed we were forced to use the invex liquid that really is a pain in the ass.

I am interested to try these new ingots as well

Nah...I got tunnel vision, in morning zombie mode still. Nice work RKM, the canines could've been a tad more symmetric tho...that printed model looks great BTW

You can see it at the gingival of the 1.1(8?).

Barely.

Which 1.1(8?),the one on the left side or on the right ? I see a lighter strip towards the mesial, could it be the light reflection ? Dunno, need my 2nd coffee...

Barely.

This happens if the lustre paste pools too much and overcontours the gingival. If you can control it,it looks awesome. Otherwise , you have to polish it down which leaves the core shade.

If the margin is sub g then it's not a big deal.

I think sloppy looks more realistic.
