A method of gas-assisted injection molding in which a charge of pressurized gas is injected into the mold, but not into the article-defining cavity. The gas charge is of a predetermined quantity and pressure sufficient to assist in filling out the article-defining cavity with resin and promoting surface quality. In another feature, the gas pressure within the resulting molding may be relieved by separating the mold halves and permitting the gas-containing portion of the molding to self-rupture, or by means well known in the art.
