A NOVEL APPROACH TO TOOLING OF HIGH-STRENGTH FIBERGLASS LAMINATES FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS IS DESCRIBED. THE METHOD CONSISTS OF MAKING SHIPYARD FABRICATED STEEL PLATE TRANSFERS FROM THE SHIP STRUCTURAL FRAMEWORK. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH UTILIZING THE PLATES ARE DESCRIBED. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THIS METHOD, WHEN GENERALLY APPLIED, RESULTS IN A QUICK REACTION, POTENTIALLY LOW-COST TOOLING SOLUTION.
