Hi all

attempting to repair my carbon bike frames chainstay (non-drive side). So far I have followed crack down through the chainstay and removed all delaminated carbon. There is now a nice 1" hole but the rest of carbon is solid. I have tried to cut in on either side of the hole using a fine rasp, so have a decent chamfer about 1 1/2" either side of the hole.

My plan was to just use multiple layers of Carbon Fibre 2/2 Twill 3k 195g, but having read a little more, I'm concerned this might not be enough to affect a decent repair, would I need to use some sort of UD fiber first?

Any advice gladly taken
