DESCRIPTION:
R. Young said Good intro to advanced composites. There aren't too many good books on the fabrication and repair of structures that use high modulus fibers like Carbon and Kevlar, modern core materials, and high performance resins. While this British title "goes on a bit" and is not for the illiterate, it does an excellent job of walking you through the process of building and repairing parts that would not be out of place on any track in the country. It will also be useful to airplane and boat builders.. "Five Stars" according to Robert. A very good book!. He said it's a good one My fiance is working on the restoration of a '36 Ford and is beginning work with composites. He has never used composite materials before, but said this book has helped. He has already begun using fiberglass on the roof and said it's been going really well and the book has good tips on how to start out.It says it's for race-cars, but the information can be applied to all vehicles.

A valuable source of reference.. This practical guide covers all aspects of composite fiber reinforced plastic manufacturing techniques: wet and dry laminating techniques; pattern making and constructing moulds; material upgrades; vacuum consolidation and elevated temperature cure; pre-peg fabrics in the home workshop, and more. The use of 'composites' is now an essential element in the construction of competition cars, so it is important that those involved in the sport have a thorough understanding of what they are, and how they can be employed
