Some carbon frames have had a release agent applied to the insides of the frame, to better allow the compression bladder to be removed after inflation and curing.
Epoxy makes for a poor structural material, great as a bonding agent but bad at other things.
Just about every carbon frame repair I have seen uses tow wrapped around the damaged area.
Do the repair estimates include refinishing? Even spot paint touch up can add a bunch of cost. Andy
