Pouring in an open top mold, not injection. Noticed that the plastic shrinks down a lot. Is this from trying to cool the plastic to fast?
Thanks

Its just the natural reaction that the plastic does. If you need to keep mold full as plastic sets up...Keep dribbling plastic in the middle of mold to keep it from shrinking too much!
