All Black Leather Repair Kit

It was the best buy I did. Mine all stuff is fixed & working well.

I'm not sure what kind of damage this is designed to repair best, but it says it fixes gouges, and that's what I bought it for. It came with several canisters (small, like paints of a paint-by-number kit) of black "liquid leather," plus a few other items to make repairs and add texture. I was repairing the arm rests on a wheel chair, which were punctured by a metal bit while loading the chair in my car.The foam underneath was intact, aside from the slice, and the covering was cleanly cut. The slice was about one inch long. In all fairness, the directions do say that you should build up any dents- basically perform all repairs before using the liquid leather. I was working with a flat surface that was basically cut, just as it would have been if I'd stuck a knife in the arm rest, so I didn't think it was necessary to build it up. I just wanted to seal it off and add texture to match.No such luck. The liquid leather seeped into the crevice, rather than forming a layer over the top as I expected. I ended up leaving it to dry overnight, and I did a second coat the next night. The texture sheets are paper with a raised pattern. They might work on a thicker liquid leather, but did absolutely nothing to my second coat.In the end, the repair is adequate. It's sealed up nicely, and the color is a good match. Up close, it's an obvious repair job. It might have worked better if it was thicker, or if the repair was smaller.

I had a small tear in my vinyl motorcycle seat made by a cat's claw. It was basically "L" shaped, with the long part of the L being less than 1/4" long. The tear was at the edge of the cushion, where the horizontal seat curves down the side. The patch was going to be in direct contact with my butt, and the material would be flexed alot.The repair cloth was really loose, and wanted to unravel as soon as I cut the small piece I needed. It was a little tricky getting it stuffed through the tear and laying down flat over the foam padding, without making the original tear bigger. I kept picking out loose strands of the repair cloth,The glue was very wet, and did not bond instantly. It took several minutes to get sticky enough to hold the vinyl down to the repair cloth. It wanted to stick to my finger much faster than to the back of the vinyl. I used a flat screwdriver instead of my hand to hold it down. Be patient.The black stuff worked well. I picked one of the texture patterns that looked close to the original "plether" pattern on the vinyl and a couple pieces of blue painters tape to keep it in place over night. The next day I pulled it back and the patch was done.In the end it looks like a little bump in the seat cover. Not exactly invisible, but way better than the tear used to look. The color and texture match are pretty good. and the repair is pretty strong. I don't think the tear will get any bigger, and the seat is sealed against water getting into the foam. Probably worth the money.Next time I have to repair a seat, I'll try to carefully pluck out some of the foam from the repair site and see if I can reduce the size of the bump.

Had a 3-4 inch tear along one of the side seams on my leather Harley Davidson seat. Product is easy to use and after 4 months and 5,000 miles of riding the repaired seam is still intact. The cost of the kit beats having to have a professional do the repair work.

Repaired my motorcycle seat and looks great! A great value for the money!

I had a huge tear in the armpit of my leather jacket which I love dearly. I wouldn't buy this kit for big jobs or nicer quality leathers. In those cases I would pay a little extra to get it fixed professionally. I tried using the white patches of leather they gave me, but it just didn't stay glued. And when I tried to texturize with the black coverup and leather texture pieces, it just didn't look natural or good at all. It looked like plastic.This kit is better for very small jobs, or for vinyl or pleather-type material. You have to glue the piece together first with what just looks like Elmer's white glue. Then you wait for that to dry, and then use the black paint/coverup which dries sort of shiny.If you're trying to save money then maybe this is good enough for you. But again, I wouldn't recommend this for large tears/holes more than an inch.

I tired very trick in the directions, video on Youtube, google searches and the patch looked horrible and cracked right off. I put on the patch 15 times trying to redo it but it would not bond. I was trying to fix a 100% leather jacket and this was a disaster. You might have better luck than me.

I had a three inch rip in the elbow of my jacket. It’s easy to use. It matches the texture really well. I used three applications to make it look smooth. Can’t notice it unless you know where it was. Take a look.
