I made a first tear in my SA2 15m. Probably a sharpy shell at the beach.
The tear is about 1cm long but badly done. So I repaired it using kitefix but just on one side because could not patch from the inside, so I wonder if
this should be enough or I should get it sewed cleanly.
Thanks

we discourage sewing on the SA fabric... more perforations leads to a weaker area around the damage, resulting in a Bigger Hole in the kite if the
stitching is too close together.
use the kitefix on each side if you can, and make a THIN layer of glue covering the affected area by at least 6mm overlapp. too thick of application
will make a non-flexible mass on the canopy and be too rigid for stretch.
