A couple of secondary's got folded over and kinked in all this windy weather we had. The vine did split on the secondary. Should I cut this off? I would think it could be susceptible to disease if I keep watering in that area of the split??

Clean the split are with a very diluted mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water.
Seal the split with wax or paraffin and wrap with duck tape.
I have done this so many times I can't count them and the damaged vine has always survived.
