I sometimes do carbon fiber banding and pin cracks too so I'm not against doing that. Some cracks are completely stable with just glue. Some cracks will actually never get worse by doing nothing. Unfortunately it is never possible to know that, since the size of the crack means nothing to how it is going to behave later.

A big crack that is not leaking or causing a leak might stay exactly the same forever, while a crack that starts tiny might grow fast or very slowly and create all sorts of problem. Or any other possibility.

How do you suggest the repairer could have known whether filling the crack would adequatre or not...?
