ABSTRACT:
A method for producing glass fibers is disclosed. The glass filaments are brought into contact with the surface of an applicator for coating the filaments with a binder and/or size only when production quality strand is being produced. When waste strand is being produced, the filaments are removed from contact with the applicator surface. This substantially reduces binder and/or size consumption and prevents the operator of the forming position from coming into physical contact with binder and/or size coated strand.
