That would be correct and one of the greatest things about the filler. Its sands and smooths very well. Thanks for checking out the video and let me know if I can answer any more questions.
Surely you could have found a real cushion or seat with damage to show an actual repair. The piece of leather is much easier and more convenient, I'm sure, than a real world repair job.
Totally. This is what pisses me off. The thumbnail shows a rip on a car seat. There is tension on an upholstered seat, and is literally a completely different type of repair, not to mention that tension will actually prove how strong the product is and how it will perform under stress. You don't need a kit to repair a tear in vinyl/leather that already butts up easily against itself. What a waste of time.
Hi, like the video and want to go for it on my two chairs. They are not real leather - faux, vinyl, whatever. If I get your kit, will it work on those other mediums? thanks... d
Hi Diane, It sure will! Our products are safe to use on leather, vinyl, and plastic. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at sales@autoleatherdye.com
I have a vintage leather stressless recliner that a cat practically ruined.... with urine - in the back crack area. It’s got a good many cracks from drying out. Issue is- it’s pumpkin or burnt orange leather. How do we match that in a dye?
Hi Connie! We can definitely help with this. We have a Color Custom Match Dye Service. If you would like to reach out we can get your information and walk you through the process. We can be reached by phone at 1-833-288-6393 or by email at sales@auotleatherdye.com. Once the sample is on the way, we take care of everything else!! Thanks for the watch!
What about leather and vinyl that has a pattern in it? How do we recreate that wrinkled look? Also, it the torn edges of a vintage car's original seat cushion have become brittle and curled up, do we just cut that off? If not brittle do we leave the torn up bits in the center in place or cut that out? Thanks.
You can take another piece of leather similar grain and stamp it some while the repair is wet. Not perfect depth wise but you will have a pattern that will help the blend.
You can reach out to your manufacturer and they can help you. There are also a few online resources that can help. But the easiest way would be to reach out to us by email at sales@autoleatherdye.com or give us a call at 1-833-288-6393. We would be more than happy to help you figure it out.
It sure will. Vinyl is repaired just like protected leather. Both are colored with a pigmented “dye” top coat that hides the repair area. Thanks for watching!!
Aren't you supposed to seal the dye/paint after you apply it? I'd it is water soluble and I repair my car seat with it, wouldn't it get rubbed off by sitting on it, especially if I get in after getting caught in the rain?
Randi Bagley-Goodwin thanks for me message. The dye had a top coat built into the formula. Once it’s dry, it’s a water proof coating that will not rub off on anything. We do have a clear Top Coat that can be used for additional protection but it’s definitely not required.
Crikeys! Where does one begin? For someone who’s a part of the business, your work is as sloppy and average as could be. Marking the centre of the patch with a small line and tucking it in with two pairs of tweezers avoids the silly screw, as the mark identifies the centre and correct direction it needs to run. Your example required you to grab the edge of the cloth and lift it to tuck it in. Something people don’t have the option of with a car seat etc. You also straightened the patch up from underneath! 🤭 You don’t need to explain that we can’t access the under side like you can, because we already actually know we’re not repairing a square piece of loose leather, but thanks for reinforcing that to those of us who may have forgotten. Your colour system of ‘car make and model’ is pretty useless where all colours of aged leather will have faded, and let’s face it, most leather that requires a repair is probably old. And what if it’s a leather lounge/ couch, reclining chair etc? No explanation for that problem to match the colour in this video. You slopped your filler all over the place, meaning you removed/ filled any existing texture of the leather around the repair, making all that area smoother than the rest of the leather. You didn’t close the gap up in the split properly. If your product ‘pulls the gap closed’ after you’ve patched it, then it will create tucking lines that will highlight the area of repair even more. It’s like holding a hairdryer near a plastic shopping bag and shrinking that little area. It then looks obvious. Best to completely close the split including glueing the internal edges of the thickness of leather. Thus, the split is almost invisible without requiring ‘filling’. OR, keeping your split clean but closed in the gluing process, then using your filler to glue the inside edges of the split if your filler is stronger than the glue. Either way, the split should be completely closed before the final coatings, meaning it doesn’t require actual filling. If your product actually ‘pulls the repair together as it dries and shrinks’, then why did it require 3 applications to fill the crack you’d left after gluing? 🤷♂️. All your product needs to do is blend 5-8mm around the outside of the split and over it. Then colour match with a brush or spray gun. ‘Dabbing’ with a giant sponge is never going to give the option of detailing the blend and feathering the colour🤦♂️.
Someone took a knife to the back of my f-350 lariat’s front seats. They’re black. What would you recommend? How would you go about doing it since the gashes are deep and about 4 inches long in average. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but I won’t it to be less noticeable. Thanks!
Thanks for checking out the video. It’s really not that bad and doesn’t take that long. There’s really more time involved in just letting the product dry than actually applying it. I just talk to much in the videos 😂😂 If we can be of any help please don’t hesitate to reach out to sales@autoleatherdye.com or by phone Mon-Friday at 1-833-288-6393. Thanks again for checking us out!
The spray dye lines are great. Lol.
Some days are better than others, Lol. Thanks for checking out the video.
Thanks for sharing; I'm looking for a way to repair a crack in my mower seat. Do you think this will work well for that type of application?
When you held it up to the camera, the repair didn't look like it had been filled enough yet.
Will this work on a pleather sofa?
When its just about painting some peeling from vinyl on my car mat, any vinyl paint will do?
So if its water soluble then can you clean the leather or vinyl after its repaired without it removing the filler or repaired parts
Nice instruction but you could totally see the repaired area ….
would it not be better to sand the repair area down with some fine sandpaper before applying the dye?
That would be correct and one of the greatest things about the filler. Its sands and smooths very well. Thanks for checking out the video and let me know if I can answer any more questions.

I was thinking the same thing. How can you put that piece of fabric in the backside of the leather if the leather is still attached to the seat??
Unanswered questions from two years ago? I'm moving on.
So...I want to see this done on a car seat still in the car...
I need help on a corner leather seat in which my dog chewed off. There is a seam on it also how do I go about that?

So if the screw trick won’t work, my leather is barely pealing from the foam. What can I do?

Any suggestions on how to remove boot scuff marks off of a vinyl motorcycle seat???
Very good

You can’t lol
You can take another piece of leather similar grain and stamp it some while the repair is wet. Not perfect depth wise but you will have a pattern that will help the blend.
seems like it would work better if you used two screws to align the piece in place.
How do you pick color needed

This is not a hole nor a tear and the vinyl is pretty different then leather! And what if it's attached to a seat or a cushion? Not really helpfull.
So everything you have mentioned is for leather but nothing for Vinyl. So will this work on vinyl?
It sure will. Vinyl is repaired just like protected leather. Both are colored with a pigmented “dye” top coat that hides the repair area. Thanks for watching!!
Looks good but I think I can get better results if I make my own paste. This is Totally unrelated but where can I get an industrial sized blender?
Captain Amigo how do you make your own paste!!???
@@Chrissy_Onye silicone caulk & spraypaint
How do I order the kit?
You repaired a slit. I need to repair something exactly like the picture.
Aren't you supposed to seal the dye/paint after you apply it? I'd it is water soluble and I repair my car seat with it, wouldn't it get rubbed off by sitting on it, especially if I get in after getting caught in the rain?

@@autoleatherdye So if I buy the same dye from you, it has a sealer built in?
Randi Bagley-Goodwin that is correct
PVA glue. Thats what i use for leather.
Have holes in my bonded leather chair from cats how do I fix that??
