I would not ride a bike that was just glued back together with a ton of glue. If you don't want to do it right, don't do it. Either get it to the professionals or say hey I will get another bike. There is a reason good carbon bikes costs that money and good carbon repair does as well. It is not just a gluing a model plane back together to put on display (unless you are putting the bike together for that purpose then go for it).

If this were a frame I loved I would spend the money to get it repaired properly if I didn't care about it I would just get a new frame. I am not an engineer and I don't really do frame repair and my time is generally more valuable (though these days I have a bit of extra time) I don't personally want to work with carbon fiber and the dust in my home I would rather have a professional do it in a space that is hopefully better set up or at least it is not my space and my lungs dealing with it.
