Hot take: The new composite patch kits are a step back for field repairs

We used the old two-part epoxy and fiberglass weave on a Cessna 172 wingtip for 5 years with zero issues, but the new 'quick cure' composite kit we tried last month already shows stress cracks. Has anyone else had this happen, or did we just get a bad batch?

Nah I actually had the opposite experience. Mine turned out fine in the end.
