Abstract: The invention provides a method of molding a plastics material comprising the steps of placing the material with a quantity of an appropriate catalyst in granular (including powdered) form into a hollow mold shell; suspending the mold in a mounting system enabling rotation in a plurality of directions whereby the powdered material, together with the catalyst, is able to flow over all the interior surfaces; containing the mold and mounting system within an oven and heating the mold therein while rotating the same; cooling the mold and subsequently withdrawing the molded article therefrom.

Abstract: A process for dry fiber winding in the absence of resin and subsequent resin impregnating of objects such as projectile bodies having a recessed area for receiving the windings. The process includes winding the projectile body with dry glass or other dry fibers in the absence of resin, placing the wound projectile body into a heated mold, applying a vacuum, pressure injecting a metered amount of resin into the mold, applying pressure to the resin by means of a pressurized ram to impregnate the fibers, allowing the resin to cure to the gel stage within the mold, removing the projectile body from the mold without distrubing the gel surface, and completing cure of the resin at room temperature or in a curing oven.
