Product Description

Book Description

For many years, race cars of all types have been constructed with lightweight materials other than aluminum or steel. The application of this space-age technology is also becoming more widely used on street cars as stronger materials are developed, costs become lower, and techniques are simplified. This book is a comprehensive technical handbook on the most current technology behind fiberglass and other composite materials.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth the price, Jan 31 2002

This review is from: Fiberglass/comphp1239 (Mass Market Paperback)
I had an interest in getting into Fiberglassing, so i bought this book. As most of the other people who reviewed this book said, it's not a step by step manual, but it offers a very good overview. Good enough that i ended up buying a second copy for a friend. If you have an interest, i would recommend this book. It's worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fiberglass & Composite Materials : An Enthusiast's Guide to, Jan 22 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Fiberglass/comphp1239 (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an excellent overview of materials and current practices.

You might want to consider getting the book MARINE COMPOSITES (www.marinecomposites.com) on your site to compliment Mr. Aird's good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Creates an excellent foundation., Sep 29 2002
By 
Jonathan R. Scoggins (Newport News, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fiberglass/comphp1239 (Mass Market Paperback)
An excellent book for learning about fiberglass/composites. Before reading this book, I had little knowledge about composties, but a desire to learn. The information is presented in a way that anyone can understand it. Aird educates the reader about different fiber types and weaves, resins and resin systems, gel coat, trade tools, safety, and basic lay-up. He also includes information on molds, plugs, and strength/stress -- though I feel these sections make having some hands-on knowledge of composites an asset, which I lack. It is an excellent book that can take you from knowing nothing, to a point where you can talk intelligently about composites with someone in the FRP field. As other reviews have pointed out, this is not a step by step manual; but is probably a prerequisite to actually understanding one. In conclusion: I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about fiberglass and composite systems.
