Carbon touch-up

I've just taken delivery of my super-schmick new 2nd hand frame. It has
a carbon wishbone seat stay. Near the brake mount is a small patch (say
3mm across) where the top layer has lifted up. I'm thinking to break
this off and put some clear nail polish on it. Is this the best
approach, or bad, or can you recommend something else, or just not to
worry?

Thanks.

Do you have Araldite in your country? Some type of expoxy glue should be ok.

nail polish is your best bet. you're just talking about the clear-coat,
right?

That was the plan, to go with the black. Hehehe, I considered colour
coordinating ;-)
Thanks for that.
