HAND LAYUP MOLDS
In hand lay-up processing, fiberglass (typically E-glass) continuous strand mat and/or other fabrics such as woven roving are manually placed in the mold. Each ply is coated with catalyzed polyester resin and is worked into the fiber with brushes and rollers to wet-out and compact the laminate. Fiber content can be increased by up to 50 percent by curing the part in a vacuum bag, using 2 psi to 14 psi vacuum pressure and cure temperatures under 350∫ F.  The applied vacuum compacts the preform and helps the resin to penetrate and wet-out the fiber preform. Fiber content up to 70 percent has been reported. Additional plys can be added to gain additional thickness & strength.
