[QUOTE="sidesh0wb0b, post: 284119, member: 7594"] honestly, i love the way it turns out....i love the opalescence of their ingots. HOWEVER....... it was not supposed to be "more" work than emax. it wasnt supposed to cost me more either. what i found was #1 the reaction layer was worse than emax. played with pressing temps for weeks with tech support and got nowhere except mispresses. (they did replace ingots). end result was deep 'orange-peel' pits and too much labor trying to smooth them out. i get zero issues with Lisi press and less reaction layer with emax. #2 cost...not a whole lot less expensive than emax. and when you throw in fighting with more reaction layer or mis presses...and again, Lisi is significantly less expensive. end result i switched most pressings to Lisi Press. stopped using Celtra, even though i really like how they look. BONUS INFO!!!!!!! i lovelovelove Celtra Press Investment! been using microstar for nearly 20 years and i finally found something i like more (for pressables) [/QUOTE]
