[QUOTE="Malcolm Graham, post: 185099, member: 332"] Casting to stainless is a bad idea. The stainless will not retain it's physical properties and probably break in the mouth. We used to cast onto Wiptam wire which I believe is a CC wire with CC. I would bend the wire so the bend was in the core of the post and core wax up. Then cover the end with wax that was protruding through the wax up, this way you don't get a visible ring on the face of the core. There is really no need to use gold for a post and core unless there is a visible labial diaphragm. [/QUOTE]
