The cavity closest to the sprue may be overpacked and flashing may occur.
Vents should be placed at the last place to fill and in areas where weld lines occur.
The efficiency of the design may be verified by recording the time it takes to make a complete color change while producing parts.

For specific interactions to occur between the TPE and the substrate both must come in intimate contact with each other on a molecular level and wet-out the surface.
In order for any of these interactions to occur, molecular level interaction must precede between the polymeric components of the thermoplastic elastomers and the rigid substrate.
The substrate is locked in its place on wheels in order to maintain the 90° angle while the elastomer is pulled.
