A PROCESS OF FILLING GROOVES IN SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT SOLID SUBSTRATES WITH CURED RESINS COMPRISING IN COMBINATION, (A) FORMING A DAM AROUND ONE END OF THE SUBSTRATE THE LOWER EDGE OF WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY FLUSH WITH THE GROOVED SURFACE OF THE SUBSTRATE, SAID DAM EXTENDING ABOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE GROOVES, AND ENCLOSING ONE END OF EACH GROOVE, (B) APPLYING THE SUBSTRATE AND DAM TO A SMOOTH SEALING SURFACE WITH SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT SEAL THE GROOVED SUBSTRATE SURFACE WHEREBY THE OTHER END OF THE GROOVES REMAIN OPEN. (C) MAINTAINING SEALING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SURFACE AND THE GROOVED SURFACE OF THE SUBSTRATE, (D) FILLING THE RESERVOIR DEFINED BY THE DAM, THE END OF THE SUBSTRATE AND THE SEALING SURFACE WITH LIQUID RESIN TO A LEVEL SUFFICIENTLY ABOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE GROOVES IN THE SUBSTRATE SO THAT ON REMOVAL OF A VOLUME OF RESIN CORRESPONDING TO THE VOLUME OF THE GROOVES THE LEVEL STILL REMAINS ABOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE GROOVES, (E) PERMITTING THE LIQUID RESIN TO FLOW INTO AND FILL THE GROOVES BY CAPILLARY ATTRACTION, (F) CURING THE RESIN AND REMOVING THE SEALING SURFACE, DAM AND RESIN CONTENT OF THE RESRERVOIR FROM THE SUBSTRATE.
