I had to add one on the back of this one. I wish I didn't set this up to pour throught the tail as it did not want to pour that way at all. I had some air bubbles in my other mold pouring in the top of the back. I thought that pouring through the tail with a large sprue I would get bubbles only in the sprue. Didn't go so well. So I modified the mold a bit with a gate on top and things are going pretty good now. Thanks for the heads up.
