Repair tear in vinyl floor

After 8 years in two air streams we just got our first year in the vinyl flooring. Just a small "V" about a 1/4" on each leg.

So how to repair it to keep it from growing? I could easily shoot some adhesive through the tear and glue it from behind. I have some silicon sealant/ adhesive handy - think that would do it ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I used super glue and a hot iron on my kitchen floor. Blended it back together.

Good idea. Don't have an iron with us but I'm thinking the hair dryer and weight would do the trick.

Thanks!
