It takes me longer to fill the small open pour molds...Prolly 10 to 12 seconds...I NEVER TIMED IT But I will now!
Next time I try them out I'll try to get a video

get yourself a regular injector the type that we use on our aluminum molds throw last thing that you have in the garbage it could be that you are using a stainless steel most of the injectors are aluminum which they get hot very fast and stay hot too bad you didn't live closer I would definitely help you with your problem I realized that you use a small injector for fine detailed work but if it's not working for you you need to upgrade to a regular injector .
