Right the fabric is for custom applications. It's amazing what shapes you can make. You can make shapes that couldn't be made with any other method. I have a few books on composites and read some of the forums. It's a real art.

Yes it is similar to fiberglass in principle. You don't have to necessarily have to vacuum or press it but it makes it stronger by removing the excess resin.
