Fixing Carbon

It can be repaired using wet-layup or prepreg carbon cloth.
It may not match exactly however it will fill the 'ole - It depends how cosmetic you want the repair.

I`ve used liquid metal before and its very good indeed, in fact when its hard you can drill & tap it just like the real thing but I would not have thought it would be suitable for fixing a flexible surface such as you want to.

The wet lay or even fibre glass would be a better bet.

Same happened to my hugger on my old 748, I used carbon fibre sheets and fibreglass resin. Came out pretty good, you could hardly see the repair.
