You get a more uniform distribution of resin and less air bubbles. The layers of fabric don't want to stay together and will separate where they overlay. When you do a wet lay you need to roll the part out as it cures to get the bubbles out.

One of my guys here used to be a mold maker for a company that made bath tubs and shower surrounds. He is pretty good with fiberglass. This is pretty much the same process. He has taught me a lot.
