<p>A method of forming a continuous composite structure with a forming apparatus (11) includes the steps of predetermining relative proportions of a liquid resin forming material, a catalyst and an inhibitor based on the ambient temperature and a porous blanket (44). The predetermined proportions are recirculated independently substantially continuously and coordinated at preselected rates. This is performed with a material supply portion (13). The predetermined proportions are simultaneously withdrawn and continuously mixed with a mixing portion (14) of the apparatus (11). A pool of the mixture is formed on the blanket (44) and part of the catalyzed and inhibited resin forming material is migrated through pores of the blanket (44) substantially uniformly to form a continuous resin matrix through the blanket (44) while a leading edge (68) thereof is advanced substantially immediately into permanent contact with a preselected final substrate surface and adhered thereto.</p> |
