[QUOTE="SiKBOY, post: 25288, member: 1362"] I'm not too sure if I agree with this. In my old lab, we use to use microstar as an investment. I think the set time in the instructions for it was 15 minutes by memory. I was always testing out the limits (and pushing past the limits) of the products that we used and eventually got it down to 7 minute set time with 15 minutes(instead of 30 mins) in the burnout furnace before casting. Also pushed the maximum wax weight that you can use with 1 ingot with the pressings that we did. Even with that, if the wax weight was a bit over the inhouse testing of the limit, we would cut down some old sprue buttons and add that on top of the ingots so we wouldn't have to waste another ingot just for 0.1 or 0.2 grams of wax patterns. I remember way back in the empress days, we used the empress ingots and also the empress investment. The empress investment was so expsensive and the detail you get from it wasn't that good. The microstar was way cheaper and the investments were more accurate. The boss used to love us trying out new things and products and pushing their limits because it saved him money and saved us time. [/QUOTE]
