Repairing Carbon Frame

I know that carbon frames arent supposed to be repairable. BUT its only a small crack and i believe it can be repaired, the crack is just above the bottom bracket on the vertical upright section of the frame. I was thinking along the lines of sealing the bottom of the tube with foam and filling out that part of the frame with the crack with resin. Then drilling each side of the crack to prevent it spreading further (as they do on aeroplanes).
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience in carbon frames and if anyone has any suggestions they would be appreciated.

No way.
If carbon is cracked it isn't possible to see the full extent of this damage. therefore impossible to fix. Not nice but a fact unfortunately.
