Book Description

May 2005
Fiberglass Repair is filled with easily accessed information, all aimed at giving a determined boatowner the necessary skills and the confidence to tackle typical fiberglass repairs, using either polyester or epoxy resin. In every boating area, hundreds of fiberglass boats—twenty, thirty, even forty years old—are still afloat, still providing all the fun of boating because their owners were willing and able to do the repair and restoration.

3.0 out of 5 stars Check out free West literature first., May 14, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fiberglass Repair: Polyester or Epoxy (Paperback)
This book has a lot of basic information but most of that is available in the literature that West Systems provides. You can pick up that information free at any West store.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely the best book on the subject, January 20, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fiberglass Repair: Polyester or Epoxy (Paperback)
For my job, I bought and read every book on this subject, and this is the best. It covers both polyester and epoxy resin use, it covers the widest variety of typical repairs, it has the best illustrations, and overall, it stands head and shoulders above several very good competitors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, September 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am one of those who really likes this book. It is an especially good book for one beginning with fiberglass. One reviewer said that most of this information is available through West Systems, but I'm not so sure. I've read both and much prefer Aiken's book. For example, Aiken takes the reader through comparisons of using polyester versus epoxy; West Systems doesn't do that. Aiken describes lots of products, and of course, West doesn't do that. The West Systems information is first rate. I just like this better and it's worth the price of the book in my opinion.

Aiken's book is clear, straight forward, and covers the waterfront for repairs big and small. I highly recommend this book and like it a lot.
