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

Hello there, 

I've recently been looking into hockey stick repairs myself, however not on the shaft but on the blade. because I play roller hockey not Ice the bottom of the stick blades tend to wear out and crack on the bottom due to the center of the blade being hollowed out. Between me and my brothers we have a lot of sticks that are perfectly fine in every other way except this one re occurring problem I have looked at the rapid repair resin that you sell but am not sure if this alone will do the trick. 

As mentioned there are cracks along the bottom of the blades some that run almost the length of the blade and some of the sticks also have minor chips out of the bottom. I basicly want to know what are the best products for me to use and what would be the best method to give me a good long lasting fix. 

Cheer,
GO
