Claim 6:
7. A method of manufacturing a structural member, the method comprising:
moving the fibers along an assembly line at a speed of at least 25 feet per minute;
applying a binder to at least one of the fibers, wherein one component of the binder has a viscosity less than 10 centipoise (cP) at 30° C., wherein the binder includes Tricyclopentadiene (TCPD), and wherein when the binder is applied, the fibers are spaced apart and extend across a first area;
after applying the binder, guiding the fibers along a die;
decreasing a distance between the plurality of fibers with the die, wherein after decreasing the distance between the plurality of fibers, the fibers extend across a second area that is smaller than the first area; and
shaping the plurality of fibers with a shaping station.
