Abstract
A molded plastic structure, such as a panel, may include an upper surface, a lower surface, and a hollow interior portion. The panel may include an outwardly extending lip, blow point receiving portions, and a continuous tack-off. The lip may extend downwardly relative to the lower surface of the panel. The lip may include an outer surface and an inner surface. The blow point receiving portions may be configured to receive a blow pin. The blow point receiving portions may include a portion connected to the lower surface of the panel, another portion connected to the inner surface of the lip, and a hollow interior portion. The continuous tack-off may be disposed between the panel and the lip, and the continuous tack-off may extend between the blow point receiving portions. The continuous tack-off may prevent fluid flow between the panel and the lip along the section of the lip.
