Brent;  Do you have a thermometer?  What was the peak temperature of your plastic?  If you don't have a thermometer; you probably did not get the plastic hot enough to polymerize ( right around 350 degrees ).  The peak temperature can be touchy as you need to get the plastic to 350 degrees; but not much more at all or you will start scorching the plastic.  Subsequent re-heats can be cooler; just hot enough to inject well.

No thermometer ....YET still trying to get all the parts together, thought I had enough heat, as the next batch I did was in for the same amount of time, and worked great. , Thanks for the insight.

BKJ don't worry, I decided the only scent to be added will be after the plastic is cooled and bagged,  :)
