Bridle line Splitting 
 
 
What should I do about this? Could I just wrap some electrical tape around it and call it a day?

There was also this knot in one of the bridle lines when I got the kite should I untie it or just leave it, because I heard that knots make weak
points in into line.

It I feel a 4 line fixed bridle kite and in the first picture the thread connecting the line is coming out. You can see the line that is sort of
separate is what I am oncerned about. If you look at the lines in the back ground they are together all the way with no splits. I am sorry if this may
be confusing

ssayre...scroll to the right 
yea thats not gonna get better only bad things can happen w/ that 
someone will come along and say exactly what to do, but worse case is to consider resewing yourself maybe even by hand??
 
i think 2nd pic is a knot that must be taken out for kite to fly proper..unless someone did a repair and threw that knot in to shorten the line??
 
have you flown this kite yet??
 
id glue that loop up w/ Goop if nothing else
