4.0 out of 5 stars More than I bargained for., 28 May 2006
I bought this book to learn about GRP moulding and laminating for model aircraft construction - well, yes it answered all my questions - and then some. This book is really a pocket reference for anybody who works with any type of GRP including Kevlar and carbon fibre.

It starts with a brief history lesson and then leaps into the different materials, their pros & cons, how to work with them in many ways, how to mould, laminate, repair - anything from models to full sized cars, yachts, furniture, fish ponds and more.

The text is simple but thorough and works from the lowest common denominator = total inexperience. This book is both pragmatic and theoretical. If you want technical specifications you will find that too.

If this book doesn't cover something about GRP then I probably don't need to know. I hope that recommendation works for you, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward and practical knowledg on glassfibre., 6 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This book is a great example of what could be a difficult subjuect to understand, explained in a clear and practical way. Its not only a book that will advise you on the properties and history of glassfibre, but will guide you through to the use of glassfibre, techniques and useful tips. This book is great for the experienced and beginner alike. From Boats to model building it has it all!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Glassfibre handbook, 7 Aug 2009
I am currently restoring an old car with a glassfibre body. Knowing nothing about how to make repairs I though this book would point me in the right direction.
The book is a bit dated, first published in the 80's I think, but it will tell you everything you need to know about glassfibre. I found it very usefull indeed.
The only negative thing I would say about the book is that it it might benefit from some more 'step by step' photographs - but maybe that's just me. I prefer pictures to words!
