Steve,
As everyone "been there" will note, just handling the triax creates suiggles. Perhaps I was just lucky with since the triax I received was in good condition. I filled my wing and then carefully unrolled the triax onto the wing creating no new squiggles. I cut/trimmend it and took maybe 10-20 minutes for me to straighten minor squiggles.

Ahh yes the real reason the factory does uni side down. :-) So again being
the novice here If you pulled the squiggles out on the cutting table uni
side up and then very carefully flipped the cloth as you put it on the
cores it seems like it might be fine. Of course having done no more than
look at the triax on the tube at this point I don't know if the fibers are
nearly stable enough to do this.
