A laminating schedule keeps track of the individual plies and the fiber orientation of each ply in a laminate stack, including the weave style and the weight of each ply.

Use this schedule to create the order of operations you’ll use to complete your layup successfully. Factors to consider are:

• Resin type, working time, air temperature, substrate temperatures, and humidity
• Fabric type, and number of plies needed, and the orientation of the plies. This is called the stacking sequence.
• Cure time of the resin (epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester)

The order of operations will differ depending on the purpose of the layup, such as building, repairing, or creating a composite part.
