Carbon Fibre Repair Kit - 75g Epoxy Resin with Carbon Fibre - Accessories Included

Product Information

People all over use this kit on car hoods, custom gauges, marine applications, RC parts, automotive trim, and more! Wrap at least twice round, maybe 3 times round, so that when it is slid inside the broken tube it will be a snug fit. 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. Since unidirectional carbon will add strength only in the direction of its length, you would need to do at least one wrap of the woven cloth (as supplied in the kit) before finishing with a unidirectional. In some of the videos I watch they say to use a small piece of carbon fiber over the crack and lay a bigger piece of top of it but I think I want to lay like 5 or 6 layers around the whole thing and make them all roughly the same size.

For repair, I’d recommend the easy composites resin and hardener from their fishing rod repair kit (available separately) and a bunch of small pieces of sample fabric along with shrink tape. It can be shipped to all mainland EU countries, Ireland, Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sicily and Sardinia. It includes carbon fibre reinforcement, fast-curing high-performance epoxy resin and all ancillaries.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. This guide is intended to be a helpful resource for someone considering repairing their carbon frame at home. No, Our Fishing Pole Repair kit contains EL2 Epoxy Laminating Resin that is classed as a hazardous material. In terms of the structural integrity of a repair to bike frame tube (like a seat stay) the key principle is to add as much carbon to the damaged area as has been compromised by the damage. I assume you mean an external rather than internal cable stop, in either case Bearback’s advice above sounds sensible to me.

I got what I wanted from the deal but if I could fix this frame instead of trashing it I'd feel pretty good. All materials are supplied in high quality, re-sealable containers and shipped in protective packaging.

Since this batch of epoxy was only going to be used for a base layer, I mixed a fairly small amount.Scratches are primarily cosmetic and usually involve only the outer layer of the resin and their full impact on the composite is limited. 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. 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. The damage had gone through at least two layers of carbon, so I decided to use three layers on the repair.

The kit can also be used reinforce vulnerable areas (including adding wraps before drilling for side-puller conversions). The kit also had some polish the repair looked great after and I didn’t feel the need to fill and paint. Carbon fibre parts are expensive, so a repair is often preferable if the original properties of that part can be matched in the repair. I will be attempting to lay carbon fiber on the inside of the tube if its possible to get in there from the headtube opening to make it extra strong.The second consideration is the handling of unidirectional carbon; you will find it quite delicate and tricky to handle compared to the stabilised woven cloth that's included in the fishing pole kit.
