When cementing a gold inlay with a zinc phosphate cement, the best way to ensure accurate seating is to

apply a firm pressure on the inlay until the cement is set.

mix the cement rapidly to allow ample time for insertion.

ask the patient to lightly tap on the restoration until the occlusion is comfortable.

force the restoration in place with an orange wood stick and mallet.

relieve the internal angles of the inlay before insertion.
