Unless your friend has access to the correct crabon fiber cloth, the correct matrix material, vacuum bonding equipment and heat blankets, it would indeed be silly to try to implement a repair. He would not be able to asses the integrity of the repair otherwise, and it would likely fail again shortly. What is his plan for such a splint? The manufacturer should stand behind the frame and fix it for him. It's not a difficult repair given the right materials and equipment.
