of the repair and we went ahead and let this dry for a full 24 hours

Adverbs of degree

so we just removed it from our drying rack, we're gonna go ahead now and

take our clamp off, that's where we know we finished the job. If you happen to use

a tape or another type of clamp, we're just going to go ahead and remove that

the main objective here is just to hold the compression tape so that it doesn't move

as your compressing it.  And it doesn't unwind itself, that's all.

our tape actually broke a little bit while we're taking it out so

this is a common thing that happens with this tape sometimes because

brittle it cracks when it's under high compression  like that

so I'm just going to go in with a little razor blade here and pop that back out

When you do this just make sure you get all of it

sometimes you'll miss like a little section of it and then I'll actually it won't lay

Another little trick here is you want to basically put perpendicular force

so you just want to keep this nice and taut, so that when you pull up it actually pulls up

all of the fiber.  But everything looks really good we've got a nice seam

on the bottom here where the carbon came back together

it looks solid and we can go ahead now and

little squeeze and to make sure that everything hardened, and it did, it's solid

and we can just do a quick little coin test here

there's no dead spot, I mean, the pitch changes slightly but

change that we did before so we know it's a pretty solid structure

We now went ahead and unwrapped everything, so we're just going to go ahead and

a very little bit of some of our 120 that's left over, I'm going to come in here and just kinda

just get some of the big stuff out real quick and then I'll come in with the 220

One of the things to make sure, like to talk about before, making sure the area is nice

and wet. You don't wanna this dry, you don't want to get the carbon air born. Trying to keep this

nice and clean it also let's the sandpaper last a lot longer.

So again, like I showed you guys before, just going to give it a couple little sprays here

and that's it. We're ready to go ahead and start sanding

flip this over so we can get the bottom side nicely

with my 120. It's not perfectly smooth but it's pretty darn close

I'm now we're gonna come in with our 220 in a minute

here, once I get this little roughness out of the bottom

done well and then we'll smooth this out for the final ... Once we

do that, once we get this 120 and get this little area in here cleaned up

just a little bit of left over epoxy and stuff, we'll go ahead and do it with the 220

and then we're gonna go ahead and unwrap this area and clean up any of the excess

to make sure you got a nice clean repair area and we're ready for finish.  The sides look pretty good

we can see there's a little bit of carbon that's going up over that electrical

and that's fine it's not gonna stick to it very well so once we unwrap it

we'll clean up that edges and that's what we're gonna use that

320 for , we might touch it with a little bit of 220...and if you did this all right

this sanding area, you should be able to do in about 10 to 15 minutes of

sanding. It shouldn't be too much, if you're needing to do any more than that

and you're ruining, you're taking off too much of the repair area you

are gonna have to rewrap it and do it again and just

the more you do it you know the better you get at this and the better prep work

the better your finish is gonna come out....So we're gonna go ahead and unwrap this

now...I just like to wipe this thing down  a little bit, just so that we don't get

that's a good sign,  we actually don't have any epoxy that came through the top layer

which is awesome. You don't really need to double wrap it the way I do, I

just do it because every now and then epoxy can get through

repairs, we're vacuum bagging, so we don't really have these problems

but at home most you don't have a full vacuum setup

so it's a lot more difficult. This is a really good

setup at home, or someone starting out and actually get

a pretty simple toolset. So you can see here there's a little bit of

taping residue that's still on here, but we're gonna go ahead and be able to remove

so again we're just gonna wet the area a little bit

go ahead and wet the sandpaper a little bit, it's also sometimes an easy way to clear out your sandpaper

It'll actually clear out the paper so you can use that same piece for a lot longer

to focus a little more on the ends here where we had that tape line

just to make sure that you have it nice and smooth...we're gonna sand out all that

decals there.  And then the only other thing that we're gonna have to

deal with here is just removing all these decals now this is where you're

the overlap of the finish and the sanding here

The repair itself is done, it looks pretty smooth

if your gonna send this out to a painter have a painter do this for you

to do the final finish work your gonna want to sand this down with the

320 and get all the little imperfections out

just have a nice smooth surface and they'll be ready to go ahead

most painters here can actually recreate this decal on the seat tube for you pretty easily

We've now gone ahead an finished the repair. We've also done our final sanding

on the job. We've gone ahead and unwrapped the entire frame
