GC Initial porcelain

[Bumfrey]

Anyone using this?

I'm trying it on some NP metal and was wondering if you need to slow cool the dentine firing, as i do with inline down to 600C.

No big deal was just asking whilst im cooking the opaque on.

I don't slow cool my dentine firing but have slowed the preheat and rise a little as I was getting a bit of heat tear, all good now. I do use cerambond from bredent on the framework after sandblasting and cleaning.

yep I use it, actually inline also, still use some inline powders with initial. I found initial WAY less fussy than inline, especially over multiple firings. Can fire initial over and over and it seems CTE and colour stable.

layered a 10 unit fixture level frame with gum the otherday with no slow cooling and no probs.

I do use inmetal bond before opaque though.

used to have all sorts of cracking probs doing that kind of job with inline.

really like initial.

Contemplating going to GC metal ceramic
We use intial for zirconia with good results
Any thoughts or opinions on the MC ?
Thank you
