    Hi Stan. Sounds like the best and easiest solution would be to
    correct or remake the rubber mold. Sometimes I will use my wax pen
    and "burn" off imperfections in the rubber. The indentations along
    the parting lines sounds like too much pressure from the injector.
    RTV rubber is so much softer than the vulcanized type so you have to
    be really careful on the pressures when injecting. There is also a
    wax called disclosing wax that can be smeared on the wax pattern with
    a finger or q-tip to fill small imperfections. Best wishes, Ken Sanders
