    Ok, what is the secret to...

    Using a dual injector to do laminates?

    I have tried a few times and each time one side injects quicker so I get solid colors.

    Your mold has to be set up/cut correctly where the plastisol enters from the runner to the sprues of each cavity equally with the top and bottom colors oriented correctly. The easiest is the top inject mold with an injection port for each cavity. One thing you can do on side injection multi cavity molds is to shoot it and leave the baits and runner in all but the top bait and then it will dual inject the top cavity correctly but turns the mold into a single cavity for dual injection.

    Both colors need to be close to the same temperature as well...

    Good advice above. Make sure the plastic is same tempeture. Injection slow and steady. Make sure both injectors are clean and shoot equal amount.

    Lub up both sides so they slide easily.
