"This book looks at everything associated with fibreglass - what it is, its uses, how to use it etc, in immense detail, explained with plenty of photographs.
I didn't know anything about fibreglass until I read this book - now I feel I could repair a damaged bumper if I needed to.
I'm off to the shed to start building."
