Mould building 101

Hi Everyone

I am planning to build a fibreglass mould, something I have never done before. In this mould I am building a 3 meter long fibreglass blade for a small size wind generator. This first mould will only be the mould for the prototype.

Now to my questions;

Where can I find a good book/DVD/or online manual for step-by-step mould building?

Infusion or closed moulding processes is not for me at this stage, but I would like to try vacuum bagging after wet-lay up, which start-up kit/manual is recommended?


Thanks in advance //Niklas

They all have associated web sites. You'll have to search for them though.
