What you’ll need to do is make the repair on the inside of the tube. This is a little bit different but still perfectly possible. Follow these steps: Once cured, twist the good pole to remove it from inside the repaired pole. The pole should come out from inside the shrink tape. Next, remove the shrink tape from the inside surface of the repaired pole. If you can't see any 'weave pattern' like small squares in the professional repair then it's likely they've used a unidirectional carbon fibre reinforcement, rather than a woven reinforcement. It would be possible for you to use this same reinforcement in your home repairs, in fact we do sell unidirectional reinforcement, although there would be some extra considerations if you use this format of reinforcement.

Our safety pads are used by schools & nurseries, sports centres, large national companies, small offices, equestrian centres, the NHS and practically any place where safety is of paramount importance giving everyone peace of mind. When it comes to attaching the product the most common method we use is Velcro attachments, sewn onto the padding. Simply put your fitted post protector around the post and velcro together!We use a high impact absorbent foam for our safety pads and post padding. This is a closed cell foam which manages the impact extremely well. The cells are separate from each other and this in turn traps the air. The foam is also impervious to bacteria, mildew and rot. PVC fabric material Next, wrap some carbon fibre, wetting it with resin as you go, around the outside of the good pole. Wrap at least twice round, maybe 3 times round, so that when it is slid inside the broken tube it will be a snug fit.

Select another section of pole that fits comfortably inside the broken pole, possibly not the next pole down ensuring that there is at least a 0.5mm – 1mm gap between the pole you select and the inside of the broken pole when you put the other section inside the broken pole. Although we don't market this kit for repairing carbon fibre bike frames, there are a lot of similarities between the materials and process needed to repair a carbon fishing pole and those needed to repair a carbon bike frame and so there are a number of circumstances where customers might decide to use this kit to repair a bike frame. Given the potentially safety critical nature of repairing a bike frame, it's important to point out that whilst the materials in the kit might be appropriate for a bike frame repair, it would be the responsibility of the person doing the repair to assess the suitability of such a repair and to carry it our it competently.Clean up any resin that has dribbled through to the outside of the repaired pole using abrasive paper. This combination and his belief have never changed! Knowing that quality materials were needed and that the padding needed to fit the post so it lasts much longer has proved to work perfectly, not just in schools but in many other sectors also.

Our safety padding is manufactured to be used indoors or outdoors with the ability to be easily attached or removed as required. The PVC fabric is completely waterproof and the surface can be wiped clean if necessary. Using the measurements of the posts we design the post protector to be round, square or rectangular to fit properly. We also design custom made shapes.
