Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / whirlpool / spa / hot tub
English term or phrase: rolled
From a brochure for hot tubs/spas:

"we mold our shells from top-quality acrylic sheets, then reinforce them with Owens Corning composite fiberglass that’s sprayed on, rolled, resin-coated and sprayed again—up to eight times in total. Next comes two foams: a high-density inner foam that anchors key areas, and an outer, insulating layer
of medium-density foam."

Not sure what this refers to. The fiberglas or the resin? Or neither of them.

Help so appreciated and many thanks inadvance.

Explanation:
Funnily enough, my experience of luxury swimming pools is very limited, so I'm not exactly sure either, but I do understand "rolled" here as meaning flattened/smoothened into shape.
