A method of flowing resin from an inlet opening into a sealed mold and a lay up which is comprised of at least one top layer of absorbent or reinforcing material which defines a passage or hole from the inlet opening to a non-absorbent layer which non-absorbent layer lies above at least one bottom layer of reinforcing material. This process flows the resin from the inlet opening into the mold then through the passage defined by the top reinforcing layer through the non-absorbent layer and then through channels defined by the non-absorbent layer throughout the lay up. The most simple embodiment of the product embodying this is to have a substantially non-absorbent layer which defines in at least one channel for serving as a conduit for resin to move throughout the volume, a top layer of reinforcing material defining a non-absorbent passage from a resin inlet in the mold to the non-absorbent layer and a bottom layer of reinforcing material opposite the non-absorbent layer from the top layer of reinforcing material so that the non-absorbent layer is sandwiched between the top layer and the bottom layer so that resin can flow into and through the passage to the non-absorbent layer and then throughout the non-absorbent layer and back up into the top absorbent reinforcing layer and down into the bottom absorbing reinforcing layer.
