I bought a carbon telescope with a view to restoration. I am thinking of buffing down and recoating with XCR Epoxy. The telescope was obviously left outdoors at some point, some of the bolts are rusty and the Aluminium end caps are bubbling under the paint (powder coat?). I have attached pictures of the carbon, and was wondering if anyone could say what the white marks are? It must be some kind of water damage i think, and thought it might be best to get a second opinion of what, if anything, can be done about them before actually doing anything. I think I will re-coat anyway as there are loads of pinholes.

I had a feeling the Mark's were between the fibres. And lines of air caused by a brush make perfect sense. Glad I checked first, I will probably leave it. I know all about the difficulties sanding cylinders, I recently made a large tube mould from scratch. Thanks Oekmont and Hanaldo
