Great overview with sufficient detail to complete repair
Great overview with sufficient detail to complete repair. I would caution though: environmental regulation (no matter where you live) has unquestionably tightened down since this film was originally produced. I would recommend consulting with someone in-the-know, as to how to handle the wastes generated. The video does a decent job attempting to caution about some personal safety risks associated with the tasks and chemicals used, but could be more thorough in my opinion.

No secrets revealed here
The narrator has a nice voice. That is about the nicest thing I can say. The actual instructional content is about five minutes in total. The rest of the video is filled with dialog that doesn’t belong and people who think they can act. For a good portion of the video, a man is using the most dangerous tool I have ever seen to cut away the gelcoat. You get to watch twenty minutes of him explaining how to use this disastrous cutting tool; which has nothing to do with the actual fiberglass repair. You also get to watch twenty minutes of media blasting and a tractor backing up the boat. This video is so bad, it may end up being a cult classic.

Fiberglass Repair Guide
Great guide for the novice. DVD shows what to look for in determining damage and how to go about fixing it.
