Good book on fiberglass repair and construction?
Can anyone reccomend a good book on fiberglass repair and construction. One with step by step instructions and illustraitions. I have found a couple, but they are copywrighted in the mid to late 80's. There must be something out there with the never technology.
Thanks, Kirk

Thanks glassdave the link works fine. I did search on amazon and came up with 4 books that look good. The Fiberglass Manual by Keith Hoakes. Fiberglass and Composite Materials by Forbes Aird. Glassfibre Handbook by R.H. Warring. and the Fiberglass Boat Repair Manual by Alan H. Vaitses. Just looking for some opinions on what the best book out there may be.
Thanks Kirk
Thanks Kirk

Kirk-
check out West Systems epoxy- West Marine carries the stuff, and there is a web site with How-to's for repairs, etc. One thing to remember is to have a good back-scratcher around afterwards...

Good Luck!

Thanks Fred I appreciate the offer. How is the Sonic coming? It looks great in the pictures you posted. I picked up a project boat for this winter. It's a 12' Baja Scat Cat, I got it for my girls, I'm lucky, they enjoy boating as much as I do.
Thanks again, Kirk
PS. Do you still have my address? And let me know how much the shipping is
