As is well known in the RIM molding method, two or more kinds of low-molecular-weight and low-viscosity liquids are allowed to pass through a mixing chamber under pressure, and simultaneously injected as a mixed liquid into a closed mold so that the liquids are discharged in the mold. It rapidly reacts the components to form a polymer having high elasticity or rigidity. This molding method has a good fluidity of the mixed liquid and can be filled in the mold with a small pressing force, so the molding pressure applied to the mold is small, and an inexpensive synthetic resin mold can be used, It has characteristics such as being suitable for molding. Particularly, RIM molding of DCPD using Meton (trade name, sold by Teijin Hercules Co., Ltd.) containing dicyclopentadiene (hereinafter abbreviated as DCPD) as a main component as RIM molding resin is utilized because of its ease of molding. Is becoming more common. But conventional DCPD
In the technology of the RIM molding method of, for example, when a rib having a thickness larger than the thickness of a portion for molding the main outer shell is formed in a molded product of a medium- or large-sized member, a sink mark is generated to impair the appearance, or a peripheral edge of a flat plate body. Voids when forming protrusions away from
