Check out my tutorial "Carbon Fiber Bike Repair 2- Tape Wrap Alternative" it's on my channel. I'd post a link but the comments wont let me. If you're interested in doing the repair yourself- It's a fairly simple process. If you need some help send me an email or youtube PM.

i cant seem to find a carbon fiber powder distributor here in the USA. can you help me.

It's not carbon fiber powder it's just graphite powder. Look for West Systems 423 or do a search on Ebay for "graphite powder" and you can usually find it for about $15 per pound- 1 lb will last you a long time.

If you want you can make your own filler by taking some scrap carbon fiber tow and chopping it up into really small pieces. It will take a while to chop it up but it will save you a few bucks. It's a bit harder to work with but makes a really good filler.

I got my carbon fiber from CJ Composites on ebay their CJ epoxy is really Resin Research epoxy re-branded and they sell it in small quantities. You can also find small remnant pieces of carbon fiber at decent prices if you search on ebay. Otherwise, there are a ton of places you can get carbon fiber and epoxy from.
