...unit, or cell. To make the tubs, two composite skins are draped over a foam model, and a thermochemical reaction causes them to harden into shape. (Because no metal bending is involved and the "thermoset" process uses chemistry, not immense heat, the molds cost a fraction of the conventional version.) The skins are then attached to a universal frame. The cell is closed and filled with pressurized water, which braces the skins together. Then composite materials are injected into the mold and catalyzed, causing the materials to harden. Unlike injection molding, a common manufacturing process, VEC's "floating mold" uses...

David Letterman, who hosted Kathie Lee on his show Thursday night, where a camped-up Gifford read some variation...
