minus-squareaeiou@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·6 days agoThis is blow molding, more common for soda bottles. Closed-top boats like kayaks are typically rotomolded instead.

minus-squarerainwall@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 days agoLikely amount of liquid and amount of rotation.

minus-squareCADmonkey@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 days agoInside-out vaccum forming, basically.
