Just take a short piece of braided sleeve, tie off one end with nylon, CF tow or something ... then gently turn the "sock" inside out ... You now have a very leaky carbon fibre condom ... ... Slide over your part .. (this IS getting a bit .... ) work from there.... Good luck ... "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW!
