I had a hole in exactly the same spot last week. You can glue it back together with special, flexible glue. Airbourne Kite shop in Osborne park has the right glue for sale, about 7 bucks. Fixed it up great.

Good luck

Cheers

Do you know how to get the patches off that havent worked ??

And

Do you put a patch over the glue, as its a hole right on the edge, or just smother the area till its nice and thick etc

Heat sealer sounds good but how I did it was smother the sucker and then put a patch on as well. Probably not necessary. As they guys at the shop what they reckon.
