No, there was no logging. Aside from software and a press with a gauge, I don't have an actual tensile testing rig, but that would be nice.

If you looked inside the aluminum end, you'd find the remaining epoxy. The aluminum pieces have a machined pattern inside to improve the bonding vs a smooth surface. The carbon fiber has a texture to it, and we scuff the ends as well.

It's raw. The plug we use sits a wee bit below the edge, just so you don't see exposed aluminum at the plug/paint interface like you might if you just put standard tapered plug in the hole.

Thank you for the kind words and posting!
