The Smoke Sticks had a cold crack in them but once the mold heated up the Lime and Chartreuse ones seemed to pour fine. Usually the ones with the cracks don't pull apart so I leave them, cause the fish don't seem to care. Then when the mold gets to hot and I stand it up it runs down and settles in the tail and makes like a laminated fire tail. Looks pretty cool to me but it isn't considered a laminate anymore.
