You do not need carbon fiber, fiberglass will work fine. A light weave will be the easiest to wrap around the stinger, use several layers of light fabric as opposed to one heavy layer. JB weld is not so great but may be the best stuff that you have acess to. The stinger does not get overly hot so JB stuff may be fine. In reality most finishing resins have the same temp resistance as JB weld and will wet the fabric much easier. <br>
