About Description
This instruction manual answers all your questions, both theoretical
and practical, about crafting with glassfibre, or GRP (glass reinforced
plastic). It 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 scale models
to full sized cars, yachts, furniture, water tanks, fish ponds and more.
The text is simple but thorough and is both pragmatic and
theoretical. If you want technical specifications you will find those
too.
