Don't have one but will do one sometime and post it on here. I didn't think it would repair the pole, had my doubts but it works, strong as original.Immerse the carbon bandage in luke warm water for a couple minutes, then wrap the carbon weave around the two broken sections tightly, then wrap the sellophane type plastic over the top to squeeze excess water out, leave for 5 mins and remove sellophane wrap.  Hard within one hour but I left mine overnight to fully harden. Sanded it down with a rasp file to remove excess carbon wrap then used an electric sander to sand down remainder leaving a smooth uniform layer a few milimetres protruding above  the circumference of the pole where I use it for clamping and for added strength. I half heartily expected it to work like it said on the box and it does.
