I like your DIY processes because based on one prior follow up, all you show, worked exactly as it should. Thanks for sharing knowledge.

This is absolutely no joke.
I just did everything they said. Bought the different kits on their website. This stuff is phenomenal. I wish I could post my before and after. It will blow you away.

The final result looks great! I might do another coat of the new color as I do see some black still, though it might be fine depending on the look you're going for.

How cool is this? Thanks so much. We have club chairs and one that's going to need work in the years to come. We love them. Now We don't have to throw it out!

Great instructional video, and really great in-depth details-thanks! I was researching to fix a small tear in a vintage vinyl stool, but after watching this, I think I may also next try to repair a fabulous MCM Ekornes Stressless chair and ottoman I just acquired for free, that has slight cracks all over the arms and corners! After watching you, I may even possibly (after a few test runs) try to change the color too, as it is not exactly the right brown for my taste!
THANK YOU! I really thought my chair and ottoman's damage was something I was just gonna have to gently live with, as I can't afford to have a professional re-upholster them any time soon - I will definitely be ordering your product asap!

WOW! Who would ever imagine being able to repair a big chunk out of that leather seat.

[Wilantonjakov]

I just bought a Datsun Bluebird from the 70s and its has a pretty large tear on the driver's seat. I think this should do the trick!
