Re: which side up

If its actually biax then you must be using epoxy, so like B-O said, it makes no difference.


If what you have is something like 1808 and you're using polyester, then you need to put the mat side down.

Put the mat side down. It may not be necessary for a good bond since you are using epoxy, but it will be easier to work with.
