Looks to me like they're impregnating the laminate, squeezing excess out via the rollers, laying it up then vacuum bagging???

It looks like it would be a much cleaner way of laminating and I guess you can reuse the resin that squeezes out as long as you lay-up quick enough??????

Since we are talking about modifying canopies on another thread. If you get a chance could you tell us the design, materials, and reasoning behind the roll bars?
