If it feels very tight going back in, or doesn’t feel like it is seating properly; stop. Set the master plug aside. There may be a significant temperature difference between the master plug and the mold half block. Use a hair dryer to pre-warm the mold block. The mold block will expand slightly (not enough for you to see).
