Minor Carbon Frame Repair

Hi all, I have some minor cracking in the Carbon surrounding the front bottle mount hole on the down tube of my racer

This has been as a result of overtightening a bottle cage that wasn't quite flush on its reverse side

It has been suggested that the crack may just be in the laquer and my local LBS says its nothing to be concerned about

However, I.m slightly concerned that the crack may creep with road vibrations so my question is this?

Any good diy fixes that you could recommend that would put my mind at rest when I ride my bike to stop it from potentially spreading?

Advice from anyone with repair experience would be greatly appreciated

    If you're just worried about the cracks spreading then you could mark the ends with a marker pen so you'll know if there's any change.
    More problems but still living....
