Ok we all know what mold lines are, but do we all know what shift lines are in molds??

A Shift line is like a mold line but it cant not be fixed by cutting or sanding... it has to be filled in to the height of the other side....(99 percent of the time its caught by QA but , i was lucky enough to get a model with a very slight shift line... Im going too get people telling me its mold line no its shift line( im a experience caster and mold maker) I know what im talking about.

What causes shift line, applying enough pressure to the mold while using it, or the mold wasnt alined together.
But the only way to fix it is to green stuff it in or blend it with green stuff to the propper height.

its only a millimeter difference, but it ruins the model.

I'm looking forward to hearing suggestions for this, though I think the solution is to use GS to fix it.

Whenever I encounter something like that I usually do my best to cut/file the area down, and if all else fails use GS to fix it.
