Abstract

An apparatus and method for making molded products for marine, automotive, recreational, and other applications. The apparatus and method for making the molded products generally includes a closed mold and an inline mixer for adding a catalyst to a filled resin. The method may include adding a fiber material to a resin to create the filled resin, adding a catalyst to the filled resin, and mixing the catalyst and the filled resin to create an uncured catalyzed, filled resin. The method may also include adding the uncured catalyzed, filled resin to a mold and allowing the uncured catalyzed, filled resin to harden in the mold.
