Hand applied resin to form a butt joint at the ends? No expertise here but holy crap that is scary. Would have thought the carbon fiber would be wound around a flange or a thin wall insert that thickens as it meets the end. Also confused by the choice of carbon fiber. Its extreme strength is tension not compression. There is a discontinuity in elastic modulous at that joint as well. Seems sketchy as hell but just speculation as an engineer who has designed pressue housings for 25,000 + psi
