An apparatus (10) for slush molding a thin shell having an outer layer and an inner layer. The apparatus includes two tubs (14,16) for dispersing their respective material contents (24,26) into a mold cavity (28). According to the invention, the apparatus includes a diverter valve configured to alternately open a passage from each of two tubs (14,16) to the mold cavity to selectively dispense charge materials from the respective tubs into the mold cavity (28). In addition, a thin shell is provided having an outer layer and an inner layer. A first polymer material is cast and allowed to melt on a heated mold surface (31) to form an outer layer. A second polymer material is then cast and allowed to melt and form an inner layer on the inner surface of the outer layer. The shell is then removed from the mold. |
