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 Rod

The Fishing Pole repair kit, I ordered, arrived home yesterday. But I just found the forum now... I clearly understand the repair is to be done at my own risk. But what would you advise from the picture? Do I just sand it, and follow the video tutorials? Knowing that it doesn't seem to have any other cracks than what we see here. The frame is unpainted carbon. Cheers,
