I have some questions regarding pre sintering zirconia staining. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've used vita zirconia stains before, which you have to mix yourself. I switched over to the lava plus, but still am no where near satisfied with its results.
The biggest concern is with the C shades. The darker c3 and c4 seem to be ok but just cannot get c1 and c2. They look too yellow and not gray enough. How to get it more gray? How to get it less yellow? That leads me to my next concern. All shades from a to d are a bit yellowish, with possibly the exception of a1 and b1.
Is there a better staining liquid people use? Is there a way to add and subtract color from these stains? Is it possible that my oven is to blame? I have two ovens that use mosi elements and a new one from dekema that uses the silicon carbide elements, but not a microwave. All three produce the same results, but uncolored bleach shades come out fine.
The coloring effect of these lava stains seem to degrade over time. Jensen technical support tells me that the stains are sensitive to light and temperature... If they're sensitive to light, why are they shipped in clear plastic bottles...? Regardless, they don't seem to have an answer to the slight yellow was or the lack of grayness.
Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
