@addictR1 Thank you, in all honesty carbon work isn't that hard, carbon is a lot stronger than most people think. Give it a go, you'll be surprised.
Update in the frame repair:
I stripped the rest of the surrounding area from its paint, I've never been a huge fan of treks but I love how easy the paint just flakes off, it's not very well attached to the carbon. I then took an old 26" tube and cut it in half, tied up both ends and threaded it through the frame and out the BB. The tube is too big and has a fold in it when it's inflated so I'm going to get a 700x37c tube and use that. Should work better. This picture is of the tube un inflated,
And inflated, it's used to pressurise the carbon and squeeze out as much left over resin as possible, to much resin makes for an unstable balance and weakens the carbon. This tube is to big so will be swapped out after the long weekend
I then test fitted the mould and inflated while it was clamped to check it wouldn't force it's way out the mold. It all checked out so we are set for glueing and setting as soon as I get the tube.
I'm still not sure on how many layers I'll do, maybe 5. All cross directional. I'll do a bit more research on that. Any opinions would be greatly helped!
