For the blade I have made a fiberglass mold and intend to lay carbon in the mold and vacuum bag it although I have really not searched for other options, always open for suggestions.
Today I epoxied the tube back together and will apply another CF sleeve. I ordered the "heavy" carbon sleeve, 1.25" from Soller composites, awaiting on its arrival.
If anyone is interested in building a tube, check out there site, lots of good stuff there. Horrible website logistics though, somebody needs to help them design a better site.
And Jake, here something you will never from your wife but Im going to say it, you were right!

Dave,
I'd be interested in seeing pics of the next part. I've made plenty of carbon tubes but never made a paddle blade. When I get my current project out of the way I'll probably make a carbon kayak to compliment my timber kayaks and I'll make a carbon paddle to go with it. So pics would be great when you get onto the blade.
Thanks,
Phill


I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!

If I had to make a carbon tube for a paddle, I would search for carton tube of the same diameter, but with a thin wall for the least amount of weight. Laminate it and leave it there. If you close both ends anyway, the carton doesn't matter.
Don't forget to tape the carton before.
