How Boned Am I
First time repairing carbon on a bike frame. I used two layers each with an overlap of 1/2 inches (I think this was screw up 1).
I used heat shrink tape but it did not compress nearly enough to do anything, so I wrapped an inner tube around the repair area and waited 24 hours. The epoxy seems to have cured but there are significant wrinkles in the sheets I added. I should have asked here before trying to sand/correct the valleys but I assume the answer will be the same… do I need to resand down to the original carbon and do it again?
