now if you're careful, you can do a really good CF repair job by unpicking the carbon fibres from the matrix, unweaving back about three inches either side of the damaged area, and then reweaving using a stronger gauge carbon fibre. lay the threads down in the original orientation, making sure you have plaited the new threads inot the old weave at least 2.5 inches back. then reimpregnate with resin, insert your bladder inside the tube, pump up and get the shape right, then re coat the outside and bake. simple. just like darning socks.
tune in next week when we solve the worlds climate problem with a simple trick using an old refrigerator, and rid the world of disease by the power of positive advertising and eugenics. Bye now...
