Leather Vinyl Repair

Has anyone ever tried this leather repair kit, and what were your results?

I have a black couch with a few tears I'm trying to fix.

The products in the kit are what would be used by a professional leather restorer BUT they take years of experience to use properly.

Also colour matching for repairs (even for black which can be a problem because of the sheen level) can be a real issue, bad colour matching will make the repair look twice as bad.

If the cuts are on a high stress area (seats etc) then they will probably not last especially if they go all the way through the leather.

Best to spend your money on a professional job. if you are in the UK ring LTT for advice before doing anything.
