Thanks - I own a tool and die shop so fixing metal I know all about, but I have never worked with carbon fiber before.
No problem. Although I'm an electrical engineer by trade, my partner and I do composite sailplane repair and refinish nowadays. I also built a composite Europa XS touring plane, completed last year. I don't have the mesh in my Europa and I'm very careful about flying near convective weather.
Composites, and in particular epoxy/carbon or epoxy/fiberglass, are great materials to work with.
