Hi Chet, My recommendation is to go to West Marine and get some resin, hardener and cloth. Then watch some YouTube videos and practice. It is a lot easier to learn from videos than by reading. Then join a local EAA to surround yourself with others who are building composite aircraft. You will be an expert before you know it.
