To produce a glossy surface, a polished mold is required and an unfilled grade should be used.
Rheological balancing is possible, but only for a specific grade or rheometric curve.
Due to the low viscosity of some GLS grades, properly maintained tight valve gates are required to prevent leakage or hair flash.
