Abstract
Abstract An improved method for providing lightweight and strong rigid enclosures and molded items formed by enclosing, wrapping or filling a mold of said items or articles with a dry peroxide catalyst-impregnated fabric or solid substrate filler material and applying thereto or mixing therewith an activated thermosetting vinyl-type resin and allowing said fabric or filler material to harden about the article or within the mold of said article. Said resin system and molding procedure is safe and of low toxicity.
