Fiberglass & Other Composite Materials, Revised Edition
For many years, race cars have been made with lightweight materials such as fiberglass, Kelvar®, and carbon fiber. These materials are becoming more commonly used in street cars, street rods, boats and light aircraft. Carbon fiber is becoming especially popular, used in everything from tennis racquets to telescopes.
This newly-revised edition is designed for the professional or hobbyist interested in repairing or constructing automotive and boat parts in fiberglass and the growing number of non-metallic lightweight materials. Sections include FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) materials, fibers and fiber forms, resins, gel coats, building molds and plugs, and health and safety tools and shop equipment.
