To explain the phrase or word "laminating" or "laminate" it's basically a material made up by using typically two different materials to make one particular material, an example would be a sheet/plate made of a high density foam core - lets say a 1/8in thick sheet hard foam and then that have a layer of fiberglass on each side to make it stiffer and stronger - this would be considered a laminate material sheet/plate.

I suspect what you want is to apply a layer of fiberglass to your model, this would be in modeling terms be "glassing" or fiberglassing the surface of your model. A laminate is typically a ready made material plate/sheet, laminate - fusion.
