[QUOTE="TheLabGuy, post: 11156, member: 126"] Once again, six pack is right!!!! By the way, did you ever say what was on ice, other than a six pack, what kind? I have the Whip Mix Pro Press 100, I burned up probably 3 sleeves of ingots (large and small) to get my press oven dialed in. I mean I had to change press time, hold time, high heat, just for the differences between the small and large. Then I had to make subtle differences between MO, HT, and LT. IT'S A P.I.T.A.......PAIN IN THE ASS. However, it saved me 6,000 dollars and I don't have any problems and have been doing them for awhile now with hardly any reaction layers and the fits are very nice. Al mentioned something I think is crucial when doing LT, HT and even MO for that matter, and that is make your wax up perfect. Don't make those margins bulky like you would so it casts out, don't, no need to, make your occlusion, margins, anatomy, everything right on the mark and you'll save yourself tons of time doing any finishing.
