Repair

Gear Advice/Question

Hi everyone,
Lately I've been doing a lot of self-launches and self-landings, and the sand rubbing against the wing has created a few small holes in the kite's leading-edge sleeve. They're all very small, about 5 mm (max) in diameter.
Should I repair them? If so, what's the best way to do it? Tear-Aid? Dacron patch? Or is it better to leave them alone if they haven't reached the bladder?
Thanks for any advice!
