ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for forming a product, and the product, such as a buoy with a plastic outer skin or shell and a plastic foam interior are provided. A first charge including, in one exemplary embodiment, a cross-linkable resin is added to a mold component, followed by a second charge, isolated from the first, and including in the exemplary embodiment expandable polystyrene beads. The apparatus is rotated about two mutually perpendicular axes. Initially, the cross-linkable composition is rotation molded against the walls of the mold to form the outer shell. Thereafter, the second charge of polystyrene beads is released within the mold, at a sufficient temperature to cause expansion of said beads against the shell.
