I picked up a busted carbon stick from a dealer that had been snapped in half. I re-glassed it back together, but cannot figure out how to get the pin back in and slide the outter sleeve back on from the end of the inner sleeve. I'm thinking that I have to tak the cork ball off the end of the outter sleeve, put the outter sleeve all the way on, put the pin in, and then rettach the cork ball. Do I have the right idea? Removing the pin wasn't a big deal since the outter sleeve was in two pieces when I got it.

BTW, two wraps of 3oz 2" wide fiberglass tape wrapped in opposite spirals did the trick. Now if I could just figure out how to put it back together!

Thanks in advance.
