Default Advice on carbon fibre repairs

How do you guys do this?

I have a vintage chassis and shock towers with no major cracks but evidence of layers prising apart.

I've been told ca glue is useful, but do you have any other tips or kits for firm repairs?

Thanks in advance...

We use araldite at work to repair small delams. prise the layers apart slightly, pour in araldite as best you can, then clamp it all back together, we have release tape to stop it sticking to the clamp, maybe clingfilm, or just be carefull not to make a mess

Id go with super thin CA, and clamp it all back down bud, just mask up where you DONT want the glue to run, and use a narrow applicator, running the CA down the delamination.........those hand pump vice clamps work well.
