Blocking or plugging a Gate/Cavity
« on: 08/10/20 08:43 UTC »
Can you block a gate or cavity in a mold if you don’t want to fill all cavities when shooting?
 If so, what and how do you do it.

  For example, you might want to do this when you don’t have enough plastisol to fill all the cavities in the mold

just leave a bait in the last cavities (and the runner to it).

As Andy alludes to, this works slick and is as free as a bird. Can't beat that.

This mold I use more big ones than small so I put the sprue in the the small side to so I can got more of the big ones.
