Default Re: Stubborn Legs

There are many reasons for legs not to fill here are a few I have run across and my solution
1.Legs open to surface resulting in loss of pressure keeping them from getting resin to end of leg/ I often put a cure tab on the leg if the leg goes to the surface you will see a little resin seeping putting a cure tab on it seems to plug the loss and after a little time leg fills
2. too much head pressure flexs it enough to close the leg/Just back off on the head a little
3.Non connected legs/ Flex them a little this often works or in worst case break out the evil drill

As we all know the star or spider is the hardest to fill I often will use a match on the inside when injector in vac mode then put into pressure mode as the glass cools it will pull resin into the end
