[QUOTE="TheLabGuy, post: 18221, member: 126"] I can't speak for your Microstar investment, but I can tell you the heat soak time and more importantly the high temperature of your soak can adversely affect your reaction layers. From my experience, you would need to lower your high temp about 10F. I've noticed there is a fine line between not pressing and having too much reaction layer. The area in between is what you want to shoot for. I'd keep lowering my oven in 10F increments every time you pressed so you don't waste any ingots until you reach the desired reaction layer (which should be very minimal). [/QUOTE]
