[QUOTE="charles007, post: 18230, member: 9"] Carol, I pressed my first case with Microstar HS yesterday, after running out of Ivoclar Speed press. HS directions say 35 minutes heat soak , with my pfms with HS, I usually heat soak 45 to 60 minutes, one ring.......On these 2 emax cases I pressed using 60, and a 80 minute on my second case, burnout set at 1570.... Pressing furnace being used for the delay of pressing on the second case which came out much better.....Soak time had no effect and actually smoother. 1st. emax case, I used a debubblizer,blew off dry...got the usual reaction layer. 2nd emax case, no debubblizer, just my new Yeti die lub which helps. Received much less reaction layer than I normally receive......... Not sure if I like the HS better or not......but it does save 15 minutes on setting time of the investment. Microstar HS ratio: I used 17ml special liquid. 8 H2O with 100gram.....(Live in NC) Directions say to use the same for pressables as your Noble alloy. [/QUOTE]
