A novel process for the production of glass fiber products is provided. By the inventive process glass fibers are combined with a heat curable binder and then consolidated onto a conveyor where a glass fiber mass is placed onto the surface of the consolidated mass of glass fibers and heat curable binder. The resulting product is then subsequently cured and then coated on-line with a suitable coating. Glass fiber products made by the novel inventive process are also disclosed.
