I know that some fiberglass can be patched with some epoxy and a new piece. Of course, you aren't dealing with pressurization and structural issues. The patch would also likely create a bulge.
I'll confess that I don't know if that works with carbon fiber or whether it would work with aircraft applications.

That's what bothers me about this whole thing. Sure, there is a lot of speculation about how the composites might react in a fire or how you might fix them, but I don't see anyone stepping forward to say that they've actually thought these problems fully through and they aren't a problem or they've figured out a way to deal with them. All I see is a void on the subjects and they are fairly important subjects.
