What is the advantage of using the platinum foil technique vs. the refractory or other techniques?
Platinum foil is quicker and easier. Because a veneer is fabricated on a master die directly and needs no duplication, it saves time. The porcelain matures and bakes better in the furnace and, since the foil does not absorb heat, thickness can be checked before completion. Plus, if a veneer breaks, you can start refabrication on the same model without having to duplicate a new one.
