Abstract
A method of reducing the restrictions of mixing fiber reinforced plastic includes the step of first coating the fiber. The coating is of a sort which will prevent the fiber from beginning to absorb the plastic such that the combined plastic and fiber may be stored for a period of time. Once the combined fiber and plastic are moved towards a mold, a mix station preferably cracks the coating. This allows the fiber to absorb the plastic matrix. The combined fiber and plastic is then delivered into a mold. By allowing the fiber to be pre-mixed with the plastic, the requirement of a “mix room” for mixing fiber into a plastic matrix adjacent to a molding facility is eliminated.
