Fig. 11 The pieces of mat are laid in position and folded back onto themselves to expose the underside surface. Resin is generously applied and then the mat rolled or folded back in place. In this manner, the mat has resin starting the saturation from the back side, thereby assuring thorough resin coverage.

The main point is to apply the resin as rapidly as possible, and the more workers available, the better this can be done. Mat rollers can be used to distribute the resin and even out the surface as much as possible before proceeding with the lay-up. Have plenty of resin dispensed and ready for catalyzing so the operation can be done continuously. Continue
