Getting to the heart of the matter!
Al,
While it is all well and good telling each other which investment works and what kind of experiences have been had; I don't believe that is gives the full picture.
It is important to know the kind of pressing furnace used and whether reusable or disposable plungers are used. This represents your complete pressing system. Various types of investments and plungers absorb energy at different rates. so while persons x,y and z tell you how great they press with the same investment, you try it and you are using disposables and they are not and you have a Pro Press 100 and they have Ivoclars. It should be no surprise when your results are not theirs.
In all of my testing, I have found that changing the make of investment or type plunger can greatly impact the quality of the pressings. So what works well in one combination is crap in another. This does not include the largest variable of them all, (other than the user himself),the pressing furnace.
All that said, I still believe that the cream will still rise to the top. I have found the Ivoclar speedvest and Talladium Galaxy Universal and G2 to work best in my system.
Good Luck;
