“ROVING” is a course, open-weave, heavy fabric, woven similar to cloth. Woven Roving Cloth gives high strength at a lower cost than a cloth laminate of equal thickness. Roving should not be used in areas where a smooth surface is desired because of its bold weave. Roving is more difficult to wet out than cloth or mat. Roving is often used in boat building and alternate layers of mat to build thickness rapidly and avoid a ‘resin- rich’ laminate. The opposite would be ‘resin starved’ areas.
