They still work great 2 years later with 5+ days a week shooting. Now when I buy new clamps I get the 300 lbs. THey definitely bite better. A tip on the bar clamps... If they start to slip you can take some steel wool or sand paper and run it along the metal bar to give the mechanism something to grab.

I still revert back to my 2 possible problems... Using too much pressure on the injector or something was in the mold not allowing it to close. Bear uses thinner stock on some molds and with the big 5/8 runner you can get some flex in the mold if you get on the injector a tad. I found this out with my crappie dancer mold. Should take much more pressure than the weight of your arm to fill the mold.
One thing I don't like bear molds yes I do have one of his dancer and molds but I don't like it wastes too much plastic . anyway getting back to the clamps I must have some garbage that I was using myself but anyway I don't like to use the hand type clamps really don't know what to say about the dual injector and what was going on there for sure but maybe you are right may be it was plugged if there are small portholes going into the individual cavities it could be a problem the may want to try different molds to see what will happen this will be interesting to see if he solves the problem.
