Abstract
An apparatus for making a post-forming gel comprising, a first cylinder having a chamber and a slidable piston separating the chamber into a first compartment to receive a gel base and a second compartment, and a second cylinder having a chamber and a slidable piston separating the chamber into a first compartment to receive the gel base and a second compartment, with the first compartments of the first and second cylinder facing each other. The apparatus has a shaft connecting the pistons of the first and second cylinders, and a conduit connecting the first compartments of the first and second cylinders. The apparatus has a device for reciprocating the pistons in the first and second cylinders to cycle the gel base through the conduit between the first compartments of the first and second cylinders, and a device for introducing a foaming agent to the gel base while it is being cycled between the cylinders.
