Abstract
A pin for use in molding a part around an insert. The pin includes a shaft, and a head portion positioned at one end of the shaft. The head portion of the pin has a sharp edge which extends about at least a portion of its circumference. The pin is configured such that it may be positioned in a mold above an insert so that the molding material will flow across the upper surface of the head portion into the mold. A method of molding a part around an insert using the pin is also provided.
