Wasn't there a porcelain or core they had problems with cracking or delamination, where they came up with e.ceram?
No, you’re right, a lot of people had problems with it, but for some reason we never did. It was the layering material for Empress 2. They took it back and replaced it with e.max ceram.Wasn't there a porcelain or core they had problems with cracking or delamination, where they came up with e.ceram?

Correct. The layering porcelain for the Empress 2 ingots/cores, also called Empress 2, had issues. If I remember correctly, it infiltrated the core and weakened it. Subsequently it was replaced with Eris for E2. The core material stayed the same.Wasn't there a porcelain or core they had problems with cracking or delamination, where they came up with e.ceram?
Hey JMNI'm looking to start playing with C&B again. I have a great glass shop (not that kind) that while staffed by temperamental persons, they have got it on the ball.
If I want to use a glass slab for playing with my stuff, is there a better glass type than another?
All I know is get real glass and not a polycarbonate.
I have a 3/8ths inch slab that I used to use before I invested in a wet tray. It's to big and heavy. I think the smaller and thinner one I use now for laying out paste opaques, add on porc etc is from a overhead kitchen stove light, using the smooth side. (or the glass from an old overhead microwave)
A thinner one you can find around home could be brittle, but it's easier to put off to the side or set it on top of something else, compared to a slab that is bigger, thicker and heavier.
