Why can't you strip a zirc crown in acid? It dosen't etch so it would seem to me that stripping solution wouldn't harm it.
No?

Fresh start today. I was stressing out over some cases, working long hours and just forgot to eat anything yesterday. I was getting quite concerned because I could tell my thoughts were really not making much sence.

Take care of yourselves!!!

We feel your pain! Glad you're o.k.

Last zir crown I did I dusted the zir liner on just like I do with the bond coat for emax.

I use a 000 smileline stain brush and tried using opaquing instrument which works just as well .. The key to using Zirliner is using Zirliner Build-Up Liquid

That's what I've always done. When Lava first came out I threw some copings in acid
and left them in it for several days. Wanted to see if it affected the coloring.
Nada.

Grind. Rinse. Repeat as needed. :spit:

Sorry, of course you can use acid. My own tired attempt at humor I'm afraid.

How do you strip porcelain off zir ?... haven't had the need to do that yet .....

Strip-it works, or if I'm ticked off at one of my junior techs I make them grind it

Glad to hear you're feeling better, my brain gets a bit foggy at times when I havent eaten and stressed. Get some R&R

Stripping zirconia involves grinding and lots of it. It also sucks!

I don't make mistakes in my lab lol

I know each ceramic has its own set of working instructions but Emax Ceram 100% requires zirliner to successfully
Bond correctly and long term to Zr. I've heard a lot of techs in the past talk about it like its unnecessary but it was developed for more than helping out the shade. I've used fluo glaze as a wash bake on Emax press before though.
