Thanks Greg!
I was also watching some videos on using heat shrink tape. In the end, I wussed out because I was having a hard enough time aligning the cf over the convex shapes of the bb, and, after all, I was really looking for sacrificial layer to protect the factory weave- but next time, I'm going to spend more time looking into compressing the patch. I did sand it out and it looked semi good, and left it naked, shot a layer of clear, mounted the cranks and motored on. Will be hitting "lost river" gravel ride next weekend in WV.
Went for a nice ride today. 99 degrees hot. FACTOID- Not so hot when you don't take any data devices with a thermometer to psyche you out!
Take a crapload of water and ignore any thermometers.
