I never said i dont like you! its just banter.. Im the type that doesnt like to take other peoples word for it, as educated as they may be.. its why the smart people who write the books we read, reference where they find their information in footnotes... Ive learned a lot from mentors, in fact, I learned of 'remaxing' from one of the most innovative technically/esthetically sound technician I have ever worked with.. and this was shortly after emax came out.. But science requires fact, by its very nature.. If everyone is saying e.max isnt as strong repressed a second time.. how do we know this? Has it been documented? How do we know how strong emax is in the first place? because it has been tested. Ill give you that leucite crystals grow, i dont know much about it.. but how does this affect the final 'repressed' product. Does it lower it to say, empress strength? If so, that was fine for decades.. Why hasnt ivoclar posted anything to back this up and support the reputation of its product? If its the most widely used and popular product in our industry, you would think they would want to test what people ARE doing with it, and show you WHY it cannot or should not be done.
