Largest Piece Or Smallest Piece First When Laying Fiberglass Cloth Over a Tapered Edge?

If you go from the smallest piece first you have a chance of trapping
concentric rings or squares of bubbles in the laminate. Sam

Can you explain a bit more on your observation of this problem? I
don't quite follow you.
Thanks.

You need to try it to see for yourself.
Bubbles are bad.
The are air spaces inside the laminate.
Not good for dimensional stability - or strength 
But why putting the smallest piece first will increase the chance of
having air bubbles inside the laminate?
