To form a prebonded composite structure, a laminate composite is prepared by positioning a first layer of heat-activated adhesive between a first fabric layer and a second side of a pad and a second fabric layer is positioned adjacent a second side of the pad. The laminate composite is heated to produce a heated laminate composite and the heated laminate composite is positioned between an upper mold and a lower mold. The laminate composite is compressed between the upper and lower molds, thereby compressing the first layer of heat-activated adhesive between the pad and the first fabric layer. In one application, dielectric heat is applied to the laminate composite during the step of compressing the laminate composite.
