If you ever need to patch a carbon fiber shaft.

I was replacing a tip last night on one of my shafts last night. I noticed a scratch on my shaft about an inch long. It was deep enough I could catch my finger nail on it. So i decided to see if i could fix it.

What i did was take some 3k sandpaper and smooth out the high spots. I then filled the area with some super glue and let it dry. I then scraped the glue off with a razor blade and sand the area with 3K sandpaper.

I wish i took photos of it, but i can't even see the repair now. I am not sure if this would work for a very deep damage. But if I came across it i would try.
 
Thanks for posting…….I prefer maple cue shafts but lots of pool players are switching from wood to carbon.
I’m sure there must be other s that have experienced a scratch that can become distracting, if not annoying.
You may have improvised a solution to repairing a CF cue shaft that others can emulate to solve a problem.

I became a pro at pulling dents from wooden shafts. It was one of the few things I hated about wood shafts.

I've used CF shafts for about two years now and this was my only repair. I use to fix my wooden shafts almost weekly.
 
My question is how you did it in the first place? I've seen first hand how much abuse these things will take with zero damage. BUNCH of players at my local spot use cf and i haven't seen any damage. I guess if you raked it over a hard surface at just the right angle you might scratch/gouge it.
