If you find all of this information a little overwhelming at first, you can be sure you are not alone! Whether the project you are contemplating is an industrial tool, a ship repair or a carbon fiber car body, the process of getting started is much the same.
First, the best advice we can give you is to take a little time to educate yourself before jumping into your first project. You will find a ton of free educational resources on this site. The Learning Center offers several highly valuable free resources to get you started. There are several free brochures but you might find The Fundamentals of Fiberglass and Molding Fiberglass to be particularly helpful in getting started.
Next, you will want to review the Books and Videos page of our Online Catalog. Although they are not free these resources offer a variety of valuable information. If you learn best by watching rather than reading, you might be interested in our 5 Video Set. We have published the most comprehensive set of videos about composite techniques available anywhere!
Additionally, we recommend doing a small project before tackling that big project you can’t wait to start. If you would like some guidance about those first product selections, check out the “How To” Guidelines in the Learning Center. With the products on this list, you will have everything you need to complete a project. After you get familiar with the techniques, you’ll be much more comfortable altering the process and being adventurous with the materials!
Finally, visit FibreTalk, our free discussion forum where you are sure to meet other newcomers as well as experienced professionals. There is a ton of information shared on Fibre Talk every day. Join in and we’re sure you’ll get lots of great advice.
Welcome to the world of composites and welcome to Fibre Glast Developments. We want your project... every one of them... to be a success!
