Answer to Question 1

This answer depends on their justification. One justification for the benefits of prepreg verses wet layup include the waste that could be involved in making sure that the fibers are fully wet, whereas prepreg is fully wet. You pay for that, but it's easier to make sure that there is a consistency in the fibers by using prepreg. The base materials would be cheaper to do a wet layup, but the cost in time and QC would be a good justification for the use of Prepreg.

Answer to Question 2

The supplier of the five materials listed in the last question are located along with the other information given from the database.
