This is especially true for long, thin parts or parts where the substrate is thinner than the overmold or if a low modulus substrate material is used.
Use a higher modulus substrate material
Provide a spring-loaded area if the inserted substrate is a metal or other non-compressible material.

Regrind is not an option for many two-material applications.
Higher levels of regrind are tolerated in black materials.
It is common practice to use two mold temperature controllers while running GLS materials.
