HAVE MOLDS:now what

I recently picked up a number of canoe and kayak molds at an auction. Regretably, I don't know how to use fibreglass/kevlar and would like to learn.
Anyone knowing of some good books or sites would they please inform me. Anyone living near by who would like to trade their knowledge for the use of the molds please get in touch.
thanks

I recommend you "The Elements of Boats Strength" by Dave Gerr an naval arhitect. The book offer you a guide to calculate the thickness for you hull, fiberglass laminated layers you need to achieve the hull thickness and so on. It's worths the money.
Good Luck.
