Pace BY STEP GUIDE: REPAIRING A TEAR ON A LEATHER SOFA

Pace 1. Appraise Damage & CHOOSE SUITABLE Product

The tear we are fixing is no larger than a lawn tennis brawl, and so we have chosen the Consummate Leather Repair Kit. If the damage is larger than this, and then you'll need to purchase the Sub-Patch, Heavy Filler and Leather Glue individually.

STEP 2. TRIM/PREP THE AREA

The side by side step is to take a scalpel or a pair of precipitous scissors and trim the worn edges off the tear, making for a cleaner edge and smarter repair.

Step 3. INSERT SUB-PATCH Backside THE LEATHER

Using tweezers and the sub-patch supplied in the Consummate Leather Repair Kit, insert the patch behind the tear.

Pace iv. Utilize Mucilage TO SECURE SUB-PATCH

One time the textile is backside the leather, utilise a spatula to apply the Leather Glue onto the underside of the leather. Basically - put the gum inbetween the cloth and the leather.

Press the leather downwards onto the cloth once the glue has been applied to all the edges and leave it to dry.

This technique re-creates the backing of the leather making for a very strong repair.

Pace 5. APPLY HEAVY FILLER TO THE TEAR

The next step is to apply the Heavy Filler into the tear. This will fill up the gap in the leather making it level with the rest of the leather.

The filler is applied in several sparse layers and a grain pattern tin can exist embossed into the final layer to further blend the tear in with the remainder of the leather.

STEP 5. BUILD Up HEAVY FILLER, DRYING EACH LAYER

Apply i thin layer to showtime with so dry it off with a hair drier for a few minutes. Repeat this process until the tear is about 3/iv's full.

And then employ one last layer to the tear and smooth it off with the palette knife making it level with the leather.

For a perfect repair you can use Grain Repair to manually recreate the grain before applying colour.

Footstep 7. APPLY COLOURANT

When the filler is dry, the next stage is to apply the colour. To practise this, just take the Colourant and apply a small amount to a sponge. Use this to apply the Colourant to the repair, blending it with the surrounding leather.

Apply the Colourant in multiple sparse coats, allowing fourth dimension for each to dry before moving on to the next. Apply as many coats as information technology takes to conceal the repair.

The Colourant provided in the kit is our Self Seal Colourant, which will not only restore the colour to the leather, but information technology is self sealing and so protects the leather from wear & tear.
