There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After a bit of research, it leather repair was feasible for an amateur.. and picked a leather repair kit. There are many on Amazon that use a few different techniques. I wasn't sure which was going to be the best, so just went with this one.
Mixing the color was probably the most frustrating. My dark gray looked a little bit brownish. There was another reviewer who mentioned there was a strong bluish tint to the black, which was true. However after experimentation with adding different colors (in may case a dab of yellow and a bit of red) I got a fairly good wet match. I used the recommended trycolors.com site to add different colors that would move me closer to my desired color before actually adding the color. It is also frustrating since the color dries to a slightly darker shade. I could have kept on mixing to achieve the perfect match but didn't want to risk having to start from scratch.
The instructions also recommend cleaning the the area first with alcohol. I did that and saw that it left cloudy mark on my leather - Im not sure if it took of a bit of the existing coloring/finish or it was just dirty (the couch was fairly new) - but I recommend cleaning with a damp cloth if the area isnt too dirty.
There were different types of damage to the couch it too a little bit of experimentation to find the best techniques. Initially I circled all the areas I wanted to address with some chalk (if you get a good enough color match and have many areas you are addressing, it was hard to find the repaired area again). There were deep scuffs that went into the leather itself (completely removing the dye/finish) and scuffing up grains of the leather as well as scratches that only took off pint point areas of dye). I used an exacto knife to remove the raised bits of leather first so the area was flush (be careful not to gouge the leather itself).. if you don't have a steady hand you can probably just skip this step.
I then applied the color using the supplied spatula to the larger areas. To the superficial scratches (where dye the size of pinhead were removed) i would put a little bit of dye in with tooth pick, blow dry it to speed the drying process then wipe with a towel moistened with alcohol to flatten the area. The larger areas, I would apply thin layers after allowing some time to dry (can blow dry to speed the process). The area remains tacky to the touch.. which is fine. Don't put apply too much color at once.
Once everything had dried sufficiently (i went over it a few times with the blow dryer, and left it for a period of time (30 min-1hr), i again wiped the area with a cloth moistened with alcohol to get a smooth finish. (the larger scuffs was the most difficult to get a smooth finish, and aggressive wiping seemed to remove the coloring even when i thought it was dry - so i wasn't too aggressive with wiping it) I also was careful when wiping with the alcohol since i was worried it might make the area more cloudy.
My last step, after the area was completely dry (no longer tacky) - I buffed it with a clean dry cloth to attempt to match the shininess of the rest of the couch. This was somewhat effective.. its not perfect but good enough. In bright light you can see the areas of repair as the shade is slightly different. however in the regular lighting in the room, it is hard to see the areas of repair unless i pointed it out.
I haven't used the product to mend torn leather.. I may attempt to repair a tear in my car. Will update this review if I do.

Pros:
- worked well to repair a hole in bonded leather
- easy to get a pretty good color match
- easy to get a pretty good repair for a small hole
- includes a piece of backing material
- inexpensive
- durable / tough repair
- the glue material includes the color - some kits have the glue & color as separate materials
Cons:
- not enough repair glue material...& definitely not enough to practice or make many color adjustments
- the directions say you can remove the material at any time with water or alcohol - that didn't work for me
- the glue material starts clumping/drying as you use it, so by the 3rd coat it was difficult to spread smoothly
- doesn't include grain paper
- doesn't include poly leather sealant top coat
- time consuming to get a very good color match
- time consuming to get a very good looking repair
- typo in the website mentioned in the instructions - it's leatherplusshop.com (double s) and the website wasn't that helpful anyway. But the paper instructions were fine.
- plan on several coats - like 1 heavy coat and 2-5 skim coats with drying time in between coats
- the mixing spatula worked fine for the first coat but after that I started using old credit cards because after the glue dried on the spatula it didn't work well for me
I repaired a 2"x1/4" hole in a bonded leather 'distressed espresso' sofa cushion with a light grain. The quote for a professional to do it was $175. In medium light from a few feet an average person wouldn't notice it. I know where the spot was - it's a little shiny & a tad dark - so I can see it but it's not bothersome. See the pictures.
Suggestions:
If I did it again I would try grain paper (although reviews indicate that that is tricky). It would have helped if I could have removed the leather cover from the cushion (mine was permanently glued together). For the first coat, I used some of the colors I wasn't going to need for the final coat, which gave me more glue to work with.
good luck!
