1. A method of making a mold for use in a molding system capable of producing a molded article having at least one surface to be coated, said system including (i) a molding machine, said machine comprising a mold comprising first and second sections that are operable between an open and a closed conditions that define a mold cavity in which said molded article is formed, and (ii) a dispensing apparatus for delivering a coating composition into said mold when said first and second sections are in said closed condition, said method comprising: a) evaluating said article and said at least one surface; b) approximating the flow of said coating composition within said mold cavity; c) determining a preferred location on said mold for at least one nozzle through which said coating composition is injected into said mold cavity; d) producing said mold sections that define said mold cavity shape from which said article can be formed, at least one of said mold sections including an access port for each of said at least one nozzle, and at least one of said mold sections including a flow control which utilizes substrate compressibility to control the flow of said coating; and e) optionally, installing said at least one nozzle into said at least one of said mold sections.
