Laminate the glass on the dowel then epoxy the rod inside the paddle. if possible add a few more layers of glass to the outside. the outer surfaces would all need to be surfaced prepped really well. I think you can repair rods this way but makes a stiff spot in the blank. like i said just buy a new one.
