Outstanding!

Bought this for my son who is learning how to fiberglass. This and the other book I bought have been great, filled with all the information he needed.

Fiberglass Repair and Construction Handbook

I have just purchased a 1980 vintage electric car which has a 100% fiberglass body. I have no experience with fiberglass in my past. I have not yet started to actually work with fiberglass, but I found the book to be very informative and very well laid out in a step-by-step building block manner, which made it very easy to understand. I would highly recommend this book.

Must be imaginative...

I agree that this book has serious problems with pictures and photos, because the drawings included are very poor so you cannot identify the difference between the different materials. But in my particular case, people in fiberglass materials stores understood what I was looking for (by the materials and fluids names) and at that moment theory and reality matched perfectly.The amateur results that I was expecting (car speakers, small boxes) were achieved completely.
