Over the last couple of hunting seasons I've put some small ember burn holes in my SL3 tent. Any suggestions on fixing these holes? Thanks.

easy fix
dab some good clear silicone on the burn holes and let it cure

And if a swab of silicone caulk won't cover the hole, then just clean the area with alcohol and lay it out on a flat area and silicone another piece of silnylon over the hole. I always use Permatex Flowable Windshield Sealant, same as I use to seal seams. Best to have something heavy to sit on top of the patch.

I used that Tenacious Tape they sell at REI to patch my SL5- about a 24" long gash. I talked to the guy that bought mine a couple years later he said the patch was the strongest section and still fine.
