Excess epoxy is removed without passing the layup or in this case the aggregate.

Dear fyffe555,

Thanks for that. In the case of E/G, are you saying that the peel ply and bleeder ply would act as a "filter" to retain the fine aggregates in the compacted mix? I know I'm still being dumb.

Best wishes
