That's probably a better system than what I used if you want to restore the strength of the pole to something close to the original. I have found that gluing the splits together with thin CA works for a temporary repair.
For my poles I glued the splits, sanded them down smooth and then used 1/2 oz fiberglass applied with CA to do a permanent repair. I spread the fiberglass out on my work surface, dusted the broken area of the pole with 3M77, rolled the pole in the glass, used a soft brush to brush the fiberglass smooth, soaked the whole glassed area with thin CA and used tissues to wipe off the excess. I cleaned the excess 3M77 off with lighter fluid. It seems to have worked pretty well. I had to repair three damaged areas that were probably close to a foot long each.

Found this while surfing around. The technique is to use a carbon sleeve whetted with epoxy and heatshrink tubing to compress it (like vacuum bagging). Then cut the heatshrink off, and viola.
