Abstract: A method and apparatus for lining a host pipe in which a liner is positioned on a carrier tube at a work site. The liner and carrier tube are separately positioned at the work site near a first access point to the host pipe. Ends of the liner and carrier tube are fed through a folding die, and the liner and carrier tube are pulled conjointly through the folding die into the host pipe. As the liner and carrier tube are pulled, the folding die folds the liner to wrap the liner around the carrier tube. In some embodiments, the folding die includes an inner slot for receiving the carrier tube and an outer slot for receiving the liner. The outer slot includes first and second overlapping sections. Portions of the liner received in the overlapping sections are positioned in overlapping engagement as the liner is pulled through the die.
