    No Shrinking **AFTER firing**, the shrinking occures during the
    sintering process (firing).  All of the products shrink, some will
    shrink less than others. If you don't fire longer, and hotter there
    is less shrinkage, if you fire at the recommended time 2 hours, and
    1650 degrees F, there will be more shrinkage and the product will be
    MORE DENSE than the same product  in diffferent forms . . .but even
    at 2 hours for the max temp the end result will NOT be as dense as
    Cast Fine Silver.
