Composites in general?
Hello,
Does anyone know of a good video or book to help learn more about composites, building plugs and molds, gel-coating, etc? I would like to learn about the different types of materials along with specs of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Composites in general?
Composite Basics, Fifth Edition
By Andrew Marshall, 1998, approx. 150 pages
Anything but basic! This book begins with a simple discussion of fabrics and resins but continues through sandwich core structures and engineering with the materials. Stress testing and load analysis are also covered.
Available from the link above. I have personally read this book and recommend it.
As you will find out there is no one book that will cover every aspect of composite fabrication but it sure is fun figuring out the puzzle. That is if you don't go broke first.
