A plenum may be structured to direct elevated temperature glass toward an exterior surface of the casting.

A method is disclosed including causing a preform 1 that is softened to pass from an inner side of a container-shaped member 10 having a shape of a container having a through hole 12 at a bottom thereof through the through hole 12. The preform 1 includes a resin. At least an inner surface 10i of the container-shaped member 10 is formed of a material including glass, a heat-resistant resin, or aluminum as a main component. In one embodiment of the present invention, the preform 1 is heated while the preform 1 and a metallic member 20 in which the container-shaped member 10 is disposed are not in direct contact with each other, and the preform 1 softened thereby is caused to pass through the through hole 12 and then through a tubular portion 26 of the metallic member 20 to shape the preform 1 into a fibrous shape.
