[QUOTE="Al., post: 20345, member: 382"] I have to use HO ingots quite a bit to mask out underlying discoloration. Wax it exactly like a pfm with metal lingual. Press the facial at .8 then thin it to .6. You can cut back the margin and fire a porc shoulder or just carefully thin it which is what I do. If you choose you can stain the coping, mabey a light wash of yellow on the margin and interproximal and mabey some incisal blue/violet on the incisal area if you want but err on the light side. You may want to do your wash bake with deep dentin or dust it with DD. Often I stain then dust it with DD and fire as my wash bake. Then just build like you would with a normal pfm, A1 and Incisal 1. I usually dont use the opal incisals as my primary layering incisal but as a overlay on top of the reg incisal or straight in certian areas I want to highlight or want higher value. Sometimes OE is good where you transition from the edge of the coping to your layering material. I mostly use the OE incisals to overlay on top of the reg incisal on the M & D line angles and the HOC. That gives it that kind of pearl look vs using it straight which is for a white incisal look. But you are starting with a high value core and you need to lower the value so I would not use OE straight for incisal. Clear as mud? Al [/QUOTE]
