West System Gougeon Brothers Book

This West System Gougeon Brothers Book is a book on Boat Construction. Wood and WEST SYSTEM® Epoxy was first published in 1979. As originally conceived, this boat construction book was an introduction to the techniques of “modern” wooden boat building. This was popular from 1960-1980. Its focus, as its title suggests was how to mate wood with epoxy. This forms a composite that has physical characteristics superior to either component by itself and is stabilized from the effects of moisture. This development of wood/epoxy composites revolutionized the use of wood as an engineering material.
