DESCRIPTION:
"Not much help for hobby application" according to Hobby man. Most illustrations are from large operations, not much in there for a novice and small projects, very little detail steps.I have a little experience with fiberglassing and repair and hoped this would help me further, but need to find something with more detailed instruction and illustrations.. Makes me feel like a one year old, too wordy This book covers a good basis of composite information, however, the author wrote it like a "book for dummies". Its too wordy. I find myself sifting through too much material to pick the nuggets and points to his chapters. I'm currently purchasing other books because this one lacks the "meat and potatoes".. Really well done I'm a complete amateur in fiberglass and was looking for basic instruction. Youtube videos are good, but they frequently leave out information critical to success of a project. The explanations and step-by-step photos in this book were just what I needed. I'm ready to get to work.
It also includes sections on mold making, plugs, materials, structures, gel coats, advanced building techniques, tools and equipment.. A guide to fiber reinforced plastic materials, including fiberglass, Kevlar, and carbon fiber
