Pretty much... 1700 becomes like a snakeskin when wet. 1708 much more manageable.
Every situation is different and if i can wet something out outside of the boat then transfer i will. Otherwise yes wet out underneath, put dry glass on, fully saturate it and hardroll it. You dont want dry layups, so wet out first and let it absorb into the core a bit.
