I am new to the composite repair process but have been playing around with different products and repairs.

My present situation is that I have been trying to repair a composite hockey stick that has broken in the shaft. I have tried a couple of techniques with both being unsuccessful. I have tried the repair from the inside using a carbon fiber sleeve and resin. It holds up but definetly not strong enough for a game of hockey and eventually breaks where the repair was done.

I have also tried on the outside, which lasted longer, but it eventually broke where the repair occurred. I believe I am either using the wrong type of sleeve or I a missing something in trying to do the repair.

If someone has some expertise or suggestions of what to use it would be greatly appreciated. I know it can be done.

Thanks for your help

I've fixed a lot of my sticks using the technique srs uses. The first thing that I think you may be doing wrong is you're use just a sleeve on the inside. what you should do is actually bundle the carbon fiber then put it in the shaft, put shaft together, pour epoxy, and let it sit for the allotted 93 hours once done with all of that for extra comfort I have put a sleeve on the outside like you had done. But you need to bundle the carbon fiber not just stick a sleeve in there.  My sticks have never been stronger.
