With composites in general, there is a HUGE difference in weight between a wet lay vrs dry lay. Most of the weight comes from the resin, not the reinforcing material (fg, kevlar, cf).
Strength comes from using pressure. Same difference between a cast and forged aluminum wheel. A forged wheel uses much higher pressures which makes the aluminum stronger lb for lb.
Which is why forged wheels are more expensive to produce...just like dry CF.
