Abstract
A method of manufacturing fibre-reinforced plastic articles out of prepregs, prepregs for the manufacture of fibre-reinforced plastic articles and fibre-reinforced plastic articles manufactured by such method. The prepregs contain glass-fibre mats having a fiber length of preferably 4 to 30 mm and a curable resin having a preferred viscosity in the range between 100 and 100 000 Ns/m.sup.2. The prepregs are shaped in a mold by vacuum forming and are cured by UV-light.
