"Good place to start, but missing information. The book is also laid out wierd." according to S. Keith. There is a lot of good information in this book as the other reviewers have said and I do recommend getting it if you are interested in learning about composites, basic mold making, and general wet lay techniques.There are however 2 things I really don't like about this book.This first is that the example pictures referred to in the text is often a few pages away. You can't flip through the book looking for pictures and then read about that picture on that same page, it's . jbh1"Excellent introductory guide--major pluses, only a few minuses" according to jbh12Excellent introductory guide--major pluses, only a few minuses As it states in its introduction, this book is intended as a PRACTICAL, hands-on guide to learning the basics of working with composites. It spends almost no time on designing composite structures and instead focuses on the actual techniques you need to learn in order to build those structures yourself. It begins by describing the most common materials and how and why they are used, then moves on to safety (very important) and helpful tools, and then into how to actually m. .

"A true step by step beginner's manual with color photos" according to Tony Kase. A well written non technical book that doesn't get bogged down in theory but lays a good foundation on the basics to get you going. Presents advantages and disadvantages of different composites to help you decide on a choice of composite to use. Covers safety, basic tools you will need and considerations in setting up a work space.

From explanations of what a composite is to demonstrations on how to actually utilize them in various projects, this book provides a simple, concise perspective on molding and finishing techniques to empower even the most apprehensive beginner. The construction of these parts is documented in step-by-step fashion with an abundance of photographs - no step is left out. Topics include: what is a composite, why use composites, general composite types, and where composites are typically used. Health and safety is a major consideration for any composite book. Creating useful composite parts starts with a good design, a topic that must be mastered before useful parts can be manufactured. The basics section also includes information on choosing the best resin/fiber system and the different types of both resin and fiber. Once the shop is established, it's time to begin using typical wet-layup and molding techniques. Author John Wanberg covers threats to both breathing and skin contact and how those contacts can be avoided when working with modern composite materials. While most books on composites approach the subject from a very technical standpoint, this book presents practical, hands-on information about these versatile materials. First-time composite workers will need a work space, and this book describes how to setup a shop that is both composite-friendly and safe. Any part created in a mold must be first removed
