[QUOTE="2oothman, post: 13981, member: 354"] [b]KDF cascom usage[/b] I've used the older cascom (without argon) for ten years, and have had fairly good results with it. I very seldom get any miscast or porosity and bridges cast out without distortion. When I first got it, I experienced a few problems with incomplete castings but, I found by sprueing with a wheel type sprue, bumping up the burnout and casting temperature, and weighing my wax-ups, I get consistent castings at about 4mm thick. Once you have your temperature set, it's the same every time. The downside I've seen is with the higher temps, the castings are a little rougher. I also found I could not cast gold crowns with a low heat investment (novacast) as I guess it is too dense or the temp is too low. I still get nice fits using fastfire 15, but the gold crowns don't have that nice smooth and shiny Tucker look. [/QUOTE]
