I really recommend using sticky patches to fix your kite : I had to fix mine this summer, didn't had one at hand. I did use some glue for inflatable swimming pools : this was a total failure : many creases when the glue dried, and not able to remove it ! I had to buy a new strut !!
+Chris Purcell Hello Chris. The only hole I was able to patch is the hole on the bladder. The hole on the Leading Edge material was soooo small that I could not find it. Plus no need to patch such a small niddle hole on the Leading Edge material. But if the hole was at least 1cm then yes you have to patch it. Hope this answers your question.
+Tom Power you are right you can also dunk it in the water if you want. But when you have a very tiny hole it is very hard to find it if you dunk it the water because you need to have some soap to make the bubbles come up. Plus if you dunk your kite in the water it will get messy. Once again it is all up to you Mr.bs.

Did you repair the hole in the leading edge as well?
