A method and apparatus for determining whether a molding process variation has occurred is disclosed. An indicating device includes first (38) and second (40) body portions that are movable relative to each other and define a hollow chamber, the hollow chamber (44) communicating with an article defining cavity (16) of the mold. A plurality of indicia (48) are formed in at least one of the body portions (38, 40) that are visible when the body portions are separated from each other. The hollow chamber (44) is sized so that for each first iteration of a molding process for a given batch of a moldable material, an amount of the moldable material flows into the hollow chamber (44) and covers a particular number of indicia. Molding process variations are determined is subsequent iterations of the molding process by determining whether the moldable material has covered a number of indicia (48) other than the particular number of indicia (48). |
