Hi,
We've acquired a second-hand carbon shafted oar which has been cracked by the over-enthusiastic insertion of a handle. The shaft is 61mm in diameter, the walls are 3mm thick and the crack is 80mm long, running in from the end of the oar. We want to attempt a repair but wanted a bit of advice. The manufacturers website suggest (PDF attached) using pre-preg and heat-shrink tape with a hot air gun, but I see that you have a fishing rod repair kit available.
What would be more suitable- the XPREG XC 130 (which looks like the prepreg on the concept 2 repair pdf) or the fishing rod repair kit?
Strength is more important than cosmetics!
thanks,
Simon

Do you have an oven for curing the pre preg materials.
