With a very high strength-to-weight ratio, it delivers a high degree of rigidity and versatility in the repair of damaged structures. I started at the top edge of the patch and gently pressed it down onto the base coat of epoxy, careful not to create any bubbles or ridges in the fabric.

This is often a non-destructive inspection (NDI) which is a combination of visual and non-visual methods. Slow Hardener is formulated for general coating and bonding applications when extended working and cure time are needed or to provide adequate working time at higher temperatures. This highlights the importance of ensuring a high-quality laminate and the adequate repair in the event of a defect. So you’ve got a broken carbon fibre bike and now you want to repair it well this is the kit for you!

if this is needed, if want to be sanding out layers everywhere new fabric is going and then ultimately sand back the overbuild to match the original tube profile. In the currently selected pack size, this product is classed as dangerous goods in limited quantity for the purposes of transport. I’ve got a lovely super light Scott frame with a crack all the way round a chain stay right next to the cable stop. The damage had gone through at least two layers of carbon, so I decided to use three layers on the repair.Considering that the original tube probably uses predominantly undirectional carbon fibre in its construction, depending on the nature of the damage, you may even choose to add still more thickness to compensate for the fact that the carbon fibre kit is woven and not unidirectional and therefore adds only half its strength in the direction of the original fibre. Of course, this would be more for smaller repairs (or things like side puller reinforcements) and less for larger repairs.

It works almost as a sticker: mix the content, spread it all over the patch and apply over the damaged carbon surface. Classed as foreign object damage (FOD), it includes collisions with stationary objects, falling objects and other moving objects. For a 'typical' repair you would often us a piece of cloth about 150mm wide and 150mm long which means you can get about 6 repairs out of the piece of fabric included. Mixing containers and tools: The kit will include mixing containers, stir sticks, and gloves that are needed to properly mix and apply the epoxy resin.

The resin system has also been updated to EL2, please be aware that the mix ratio has now changed to 100:30 as displayed on the bottle.

Next, slide the good tube (wrapped with wet carbon) inside the broken tube, aiming to leave the repair bandage positioned correctly underneath the damaged area of the pole. We asked Shawn Small of Portland-based Ruckus Composites whether DIY carbon repair kits are safe, and—surprise!

The high quality carbon fibre matting strip in this kit comes is pre-coated in dry epoxy to prevent fraying and the 2:1 ratio of resin and hardener makes it easy to mix correctly. You should take care to always wear nitrile gloves when handling resins thereby avoiding the need to get them off your skin. The Rapid Repair Resin used in this starter kit has modest UV resistance but like many epoxy resins it would potentially be discoloured slightly by long-term exposure to UV light. Delamination taking place at the interface between each layer (or along joined components) exhibits a reduction in stiffness and structural integrity. I used about 4ml to repair deep gouges in a carbon wheels brake tracks and it’s like it never happened.
