One tip: make sure the epoxy soaked carbon sheets don’t move out of position as you’re wrapping the heat shrink tape. Mine slid ~1cm, which ended up being ok.
They recommended covering the repair to prevent UV damage, so I used 368-0061 clear coat spray (Be careful around this stuff, it’s like aerosol super-glue) to finish after sanding. A few coats left a very nice protective layer that I’m happy with, with the exception of a little roughness at the edges of the spray (I didn’t spray the whole frame).

Thank you!
The materials in this box cost at MOST $25, so a price of $99 seems gouge-y to me.

I have attached pictures of the repair:
1. Microphone boom with temporary repair using electrical tape.
2. After removing the electrical tape I epoxied one edge of the carbon fiber to the 1/4" diameter shaft and let it set. Then I coated the entire carbon fiber strip and wrapped it around the microphone boom. The kit also includes heat shrink tape which I wrapped around the carbon fiber. I then applied heat to the tape using a hair dyer. The tape did a great job constricting the carbon fiber and sealed the repaired area.
3. Clamps were used to align the fragile 1/4" microphone boom while the epoxied carbon fiber cured for 24 hrs.
4. After curing the heat shrink tape was removed and the area was sanded with the sandpaper paper that was provided with the kit.
5. I used a black permanent marker to match the color of the microphone. When I delivered it to the customer they wer very pleased with the results.
The carbon fiber repair kit did a great job and it will never break in the same area again!
