I spent most of my Sunday working on repairs. This entry shows that I sanded the new length of phenolic tubing to fit nicely. I also had to cut the coupler to 10" from 12" to fit the payload coupler. I sanded all the parts to be adhered (to improve grip) and mixed up a batch of epoxy. I took a foam paint brush and coated all key surfaces to ensure good wetting and adhesion. Finally I twisted/fitted the parts together then taped them up to cure since there were some odd corners that might have otherwise separated during curing:
