Just Luke warm on the mold makes a huge difference then cold to the touch.

No issues at all with the arms filling unless I shoot the mold to slow.

Even with the "defective" molds, I can shoot the mold slowly (real slooooow) and then push hard and hold. The arms fill perfect every time and no dent in the body if you wait to de-mold.

Going slow on my molds works and does help with the laminate looking good.

Are you sure your plastic is warm enough? We all have the same molds I believe. I am shooting around 330-340 or so I'd guess. (Never have used a thermometer in my pouring life.)

here is a pic of the modding i did so far. It's not pretty but its making progress

What I am getting from the picture is what looks like salt in the bait(or additive). This makes it hard for the heat to be retained long enough for the mold to fill. Adding vent where you did seems to me would release pressure from the flowing plastic to the end. If I was getting baits like that I would inject at a medium pace, then when you feel pressure give it a quick push. This should help fill the fingers. Frank
