20 Best Leather Couch Repair Kit (2023 Updated)

I didnt think to take pictures till the chair was nearly 1/2 way done, but my 3-piece living room set was absolutely trash. Cracking and pealing everywhere and leaving little brown bits on our clothes and hair.

I tried adhesive patches, but the material continued to peal around them. I then tried Fortivo and it wasamazing. The results were way beyond my expectations. Its like having new furniture. I bought the Dark Brown kit.

the furniture is very dark brown, nearly black, and it was damaged on every surface. Therefore,I still had a small portion to do when I ran out of black. I contacted the company and they immediately sent me everything I needed and more to finish my project.

free of charge!!! No questions asked!!!!.

This product came to me quickly, and everything was great! I was surprised at how big the bottles were and since I have some experience with mixing paint colors, I knew how to do that. But the best part of this was actually when I needed to contact their customer service department.

I guess I should’ve ordered the tan kit, because the brown kit I ordered didn’t have any yellow in it, and I couldn’t get an exact match. I’m extremely picky, so, I will notice it every time I pass the couch if I can’t get the match right.

The customer service department is awesome! They were very helpful, and sent me what I needed just through a few emails. I’m a super satisfied customer for life now! Definitely will order from them again!.

We have matching leather reclining loveseats and chairs that are only a few years old and in great condition. One side of the loveseat we use the most had begun to suddenly show signs of wear near the headrest and along the seams.

I contacted a local leather repair shop that was unwilling to attempt any repairs as they were concerned about staining the stitching. Am I ever glad they made that decision! I did my research and purchased several products.

In the end, I decided to attempt the repairs with this kit. The step-by-step directions are clear and concise. The company even offers to walk you through the process if you find it difficult. I found it to be anything but that.

It took me 3-4 attempts at blending to achieve the perfect color match, but eventually I did. I first tried staining a small area that wouldnt be readily seen. It turned out so well, I continued to work on the remainder of the sofa.

I restained all of the seams and a portion of one headrest. Unfortunately I did not have a good before picture of it or I would have included that as well with this review. My goal when I decided to attempt this repair was not perfection.

I simply hoped to improve the look and extend the life of the loveseat. I can tell you, though, that the outcome far exceeded my expectations. Anyone even looking closely at the various areas I worked on would be hard pressed to tell that there had ever been signs of wear.

If you have leather furniture that is in good condition with some signs of wear, do yourself a favor and try this product. It will be the best 20 you spend all year.

Our older black leather sectional couch had gotten many small tears and holes of various sizes in it a few maybe as large as a quarter. It had gotten to the point where it was definitely becoming an eyesore and was needing repair.

I searched Amazon I decided to use the FORTIVO PROFESSIONAL DIY LEATHER AND VINYL REPAIR KIT black. The feedback was very positive and the price was very reasonable so I figured why not. Well Im really glad that I chose this Fortivo leather repair kit because the final results were really excellent! The repair process is simple enough, though it takes time and patience for larger area repairs.

I followed the very detailed instructions and videos and was able to blend in the black Fortivo solution with my existing leather and disguise all of the unsightly blemishes. Its not perfect, but its 100x better than having holes and tears in your leather cushions.

This kit included a very large amount of black repair solution, so I have enough product to repair any future tears or holes that might occur. If you have any leather or vinyl that needs repairing I highly recommend trying the Fortivo repair kit that works for your needs.

Excellent customer service as well. Thank you, Fortivo!.

Bonded/composite/. garbage leather sofa was beginning to self-destruct, pulling away from stitching, leaving strands of white thread in its wake. Replacement furniture has been ordered, but planning to give this to one of our kids.

The fabric breaches were about to turn into unrepairable holes. Upholstery repair shops wont touch fake leather crap, so I figured Id give this stuff a try. Minimal expectations, but. wow. Its easy to use, but patience is the key.

I applied it, let it dry for about six hours and buffed with rubbing alcohol to take the sheen off it. Did three separate applications on the two areas to even out the repairs and looked better each time.

Its not perfect, but unless youre specifically looking for the damage you probably wont see it. More importantly, it has bonded the fabric back together at the seams and looks fairly durable. If not, it can be done multiple times they give you a lot of the repair compound.

For the price, its a steal. And they offer responsive email support. Awesome.

I bought a kit of leather repair liquid in various colors once. I didnt need all the colors, and the stuff dried to a hard plastic-y consistency, not at all what the surface of my faux leather chair had.

I was disappointed and pretty much gave up on leather repair kits. So we have a leather Vreta couch from Ikea. Say what you want about most Ikea furniture, this thing has been beautiful, comfortable, and super durable.

So I was dreading the wear I noticed on the most used seat cushion after years of constant use in a family of 4 plus two cats. Eventually a small hole wore into the seat and I finally gave in and tried a leather repair kit yes, this one.

I admit that I didnt have much in the way of expectations. The bottle is not very big, but the goo applies thin and goes a long way. I treated it out on an ottoman with a small hole and lots of wear, and it dried sticky, but uniform and black and pretty much exactly what I wanted.

So I tried it on the couch. Fresh black couldnt possibly match years-old black with inevitable fading, so I coated the hole, the worn seat, and all the way to the edge of whats visible. This makes it consistent across the workspace, albeit a bit sticky at first.

I rubbed it a bit with a cloth and the sticky texture didnt go away, so weve just used it as normal, sitting on it with clothing that makes a sound as it peels off. Only two days later, the stickiness seems to be wearing off and its not only pretty durable so far, its starting to feel more like the original leather finish.

Maybe a little getting used to, time will tell, but much better than hard plastic. So Im impressed. I read the instructions several times to make sure I did what it advised. The instructions mention a brush for small areas and a paddle for larger areas, but my kit included a small plastic paddle.

If youre doing a large area you want to do it section by section to keep the product from drying in lumpy ridges. The goo is a thin liquid, so you push it around.

I shouldve taken before and after pics. I have a chocolate brown sofa, well it used to be brown. Then, it morphed into this hideous orange ish color because of discoloration. This is an excellent product.

Finally a product that does what it says it does. My fade marks were so bad, I had to 3 coats. So, if you use it and it doesnt completely restore it, then let it DRY and just add another coat. Repeat if needed.

I hate leaving reviews, but this product worked so well, I would feel guilty if I didnt. You guys saved my sofa!!!.

I used this product on a pair of beat up shoes that needed to be restored. I am incredibly impressed with the result! The leather looks like new. I also used this on a purse that had the same result.

The product is a little expensive but I tried shoe polish on these shoes and was not enough to restore them. This product just saved me from replacing not one but two items. Well worth the money!.

The wrong cleaning spray was accidentally used on a 1 year old leather sectional. My 1st hope of salvaging the couch was seeing if the manufacturer would sell the chaise portion as an individual piece, however no luck with that.

The next option was recovering. which was quite pricywould take a while! I decided to snag this product on a whim — promising myself I’d test it on a small area prior to giving it a go. Once I saw what the color would come out to, I started by using the provided tiny brush to lightly fill in the spots where color was removed.

This actually didn’t take long — again because I wasn’t trying to color it in enough to perfectly match I knew being patientlayering would be best. I gave this 24 hours to dry, and there were a couple of larger circle areas I needed to lightly color in using the brush again I let that dry maybe 15 mins and then I did a very light coat using circular motions with the round sponge providedcovering the entire cushion piece.

After 24 hours of dry time, I did a final light coating over the entire cushion. It seems to match wonderfully, and it has saved me a ton of money! If you’re good with painting, makeup blending and/or just have the ability to be patient using light coatings because the product does darken slightly after drying.

this product is a 100% recommend! I used the dark brown on a genuine leather couch that I would say is a very true chocolate brown, and the chase portion I doctored looks no different than my entire couch.

Great product, easy to use — but requires BASIC knowledge of blending and HELLA patience!! I wanted to offer some disclaimers and tips in this review, in hopes of countering the absolute ATROCITY some people have committed on their couches with this dye.

I’m not a pro-DIY’er by any means, but I’m fairly artsy and I have the basics of painting and blending down. That being said, the instructions said to DAB this product on, and bruh, it truly is important that you DAB this product.

If you go left to right in a single stroke, it’s gonna dry as a very visible streak. For my friends who are well-versed in applying make-up — you’re basically Beauty Blender-ing the heck out of your couch.

My technique was to use the lid of the container as my palette. I scooped some dye onto the lid with my sponge, and then I dabbed the sponge around the lid, till there was a fairly even coat of dye on a section of the sponge.

Then I smeared the sponge onto a little part of the couch, in a round-ish motion. Then, I dabbed like my 1995-millennial-and-also-gen-z status depended on it. PSA: this is not for the impatient. You can only work on like a little section at a time, like 5-inch diameter at a time, otherwise you’re gonna see the sponge strokes as it dries.

Also note: it was easier to spread/dab/blend on the parts of the leather that wasn’t dry or flaking. For the dry, flaky leather parts, you have to be more careful to get an even look. You’re gonna have to work in much smaller sections, dabbing and blending evenly and consistently.

I think i did an OK job at it, and even though you can tell it wasn’t professionally dyed, it still looks hella better than it did before. I used one jar for the armrests, sides of the couch, both seat cushions, top of the backseat cushions, and the top of the back of the couch.

I have just a tiny bit leftover for touch ups in the future. The after-picture was taken about 5 hours after applying it supposedly takes at least 4 hours to dry. I have yet to.

I didnt have large areas, just little random areas. You guys please dont ever purchase from badcock!! I wiped the sofa down with plain water and the color came off like a dry erase whiteboard and they said that its my fault and not a MF defect.

Soda set was only a few months old btw! Anyways, I searched,purchased, and returned trying to find the perfect product. I did have to return the first container of this brand as it was too light. This color was perfect and blended the discolored areas away.

I can still see it, but I know where it was and I was actually looking for it. Anyone else wouldnt notice it. It hasnt faded away and its been a few weeks, 2 Christmas parties, and 2 family gatherings.

I highly recommend this stuff!.

My favorite massage chair developed splits in the vinyl after many years. I ordered this item with great hopes of a solution. It arrived in cold weather, so I let it set overnight to get to room temperature.

In the meantime, I cleaned my chair and let it dry overnight. I applied the near-perfect-match color to the seat and back. It adhered very well. I only needed to just curve the top edges with scissors where it was squared and trying to lift when I slid out the chair.

No more issues. I am so grateful for this product, as reupholstering the chair wasn’t an option. It arrived very quickly even though the seller sent an e-mail to let me know it might be delayed.

This red brown tape worked excellent covering a tear on the foot rest of our leather recliner. You can’t even see the where the tape ends if you are more than 2-3 feet away. It matches perfectly. I Definitely recommend this product.

The color “red oak, newer version” does not come close to the color of my red oak flooring. The tape is a very bright color of orangey hue. If the ITs posted reviewers’ photos, as they should, customers could see for themselves prior to purchasing.

Not only does this work great with your hot tub cover that might be cracking or fading. This also blends well with the dark brown to get the color that you really need for that orangeish brown color that hot tubs and other items may be.

I have use the dark brown on even my Restoration Hardware sofas so that they’ll match each other when I got them in different leathers accidentally. This stuff works great don’t hesitate to use it. But you should start out in an area that’s not as noticeable because there is a little bit of a technique you have to learn.

It’s not bad but you do have to keep in mind that this does dry a little bit quicker thanyou needed to. After that though it’s just wonderful.

So, you may not think this turned out great, but considering the situation, I think its great!This was about a 6 inch long gash, split, or rip whatever you want to call it in hubbys car seat. The seat is not flat, and the gash was on the angled side of the seat, near the seam, in a very awkward place to access to do the repair.

I had to stand outside the car, lean over the seat, and push down on the side edge of the seat, to be able to see the gash and attempt the repair. Ouch, my poor back!The gash only went through the top layer of the faux leather, but not through the bottom layer of fabric.

So there was no way to add backing material before doing the repair. AND, the frayed edges of the top layer of faux leather had about 1/16 th of an inch of jagged edges, sticking up along both edges of the gash.

Ugh. After trying to trim off all the jagged edges, using 4 different pairs of scissors, and because of the awkward angle and position of the gash on the seat, I just could not get the scissors close enough to remove hardly any of the tiny jagged edges.

I wanted to try a razor blade, but hubby wasnt crazy about that idea, so I left all of the remaining jagged edges. This meant having to apply the vinyl repair liquid under the jagged edges to try to glue them down, then filling in the remaining hole, slash, gash with more of the repair liquid.

Per the instructions, I tried to use thin layers of the liquid, rather than flooding the gash with the liquid. I did not use the brush, I only used the little spatula. I smoothed out the liquid as best as I could, dabbed off the edges with a wet Q-tip and rubbing alcohol.

Let it dry for an hour then looked at it. It was starting to repair the gash. I added another layer of the repair liquid. I just dabbed small amounts along the gash straight out of the tube, then smoothed it out again with the spatula, and dabbed the edges again.

I did this a total of 5 times, waiting an hour between each layer of liquid. Each t.

I purchased this product after I noticed the molded plastic material on my passenger door panel was peeled off. The area was pea sized but noticeable. The product came within a timely manner. Once it arrived, I actually skipped the provided tutorial that you can scan the QR code of to take you to the instructions/color chart.

I had to mix the black and white color together to get a dark charcoal color. I put the black substance in the plastic container provided with the shipment and added extremely small amounts of white color until I reached the desired color.

I was able to test the color on the car by applying a small amount and quickly wiping if off with alcohol. Prior to starting the area of concern, I wiped it down with alcohol and allowed it to dry. I used the utensil small spatula provided to spread it on making sure I slightly went outside the perimeter of concern.

Due to the texture of the surrounding area, I then patted the area with a towl that would not leave any residual from the towl behind. I then used the sharp end on the utensil to make lines in the area that were similar to the lines in the entire car door panel.

I allowed it to dry for 10 hours. It did not need a touch up. Great product.

So i bought this on a whim was rushed, didnt do any research into the product, actually ordered the wrong thing but turned out to be exactly what i needed! Its crazy how things worked out, even the employee i chatted with online about the effectiveness it would have on these pair of leather vans, which needed touch ups very bad.

as you can see from the first pictures. So i decided to start on a very small area in a area which wouldnt even be noticeable in the event things didnt work out. Within moments after the first small application i knew this stuff would be able to bring these shoes back to life, gradually moving from section to section with ease and minimal usage.

I found that the little brush provided in the package was a little less than adequate for at least my situation, so i used a stiffer paint brush that i had from home and worked unbelievably good. I started playing with different ways of applying the product and found that cross-hatching style first with the grain of the horizontal then vertical or vice versa worked best and then to get the excess amounts worked in as well as ensuring the application was evenly spread out, was to use wax on-wax off for you karate kid fans circular motions both either right/left as well as up/down.

I only put one application to each area then let it dry over night, and might go over it again later this morning if needed which i will update, if that process is in fact needed to be done. these pics were take prior to using this and post use, as it wasnt dry yet either.

But overall so far i am beyond satisfied with the purchase of this and would recommend this to anyone with leather shoes that need a little life put back into them. Plus there is so many added benefits and things which come extra to purchasing with these kind people.

But as i did youll just have to wait and see for yourself! hope this helped and informative as i it intended to be. IF you got this far thanks for your time and have as much success.

Whilst I got good customer service and prompt delivery of the product I purchased – 2 x 250ml containers of leather recolouring balm, the product did not work well on the leather couches which I was treating.

The container instructions advised that the product is “suitable for all types and colours of leather” and did not state that it was suitable for absorbent leather only. My couches were not of absorbent leather and whilst initially it looked as if the product was working to restore the dark brown shade, after a day or two in use the re-colouring balm started to disappear from the surface leaving patches of the orange/tan I had spent two days treating! Very, very disappointing.

I contacted Customer Services to seek advice about whether there was some product I could apply to seal the colouring balm. At that point I discovered that the product I had used on my couches was not the correct one and I was advised about using an alcohol preparation and a “paint” product which I subsequently purchased.

It’s a shame I didn’t chat to a customer service person before purchasing the balm product but I do believe the tin should have stated that the product was only effective when used on absorbent leather.

So a very disappointing result in my case.

This is a great, inexpensive way to repair upholstery. I wanted to sell my daughter’s car but it had two holes in the front seat about the size of a quarter. I tried stitching them but that didn’t work so I bought this kit.

On my first try I got the color a bit too light but the second time it was really close and looked good. It dries hard so seems like it is durable. Sold the car in 2 days! I think NOT having two big holes helped.

The tear in back of seat cousin is 3″ long. Could not use this kit, looks like a good kit. (Note: if I could read Spanish I would have not purchased this kit. ) In Spanish it’s contents are in part. (1) screen applicator 2″ X 3″ [actually 2″ X 2″] and (1) fabric sample 2″ X 3″ [actual 3″ X 3″].

My tear and fabric sample are the same size, no excess to overlap the tear!.

This product worked as expected. It was not easy to use you have too keep at it too make the exact color match but it is not easy for me anyway. It did work as expected.

I bought this and cut it down in half to cover a tear in our leather couch along an edge where the wood exposed, i pulled the padding over the wood and put the patch over the corner edge, problem is, its a horizontal edge under the front lip where the cushions go, so us sitting down on it pulled too much on the leather there and pulled the adhesive away by stretching it and a gummy mess was left under the unfurrled patch.

I realized that our own weight was pulling the leather. So I bought a second kit, and this time didnt cut it, and added some weight to the cushion first, and patched it in place. Its been holding up for about 3 weeks now.

Looks exactly like the original leather and is invisible to the naked eye unless you get your face right up next to it. Worth every penny! just read the instructions and be generous with the size.

I was a little afraid that this product would be complicated to use but I was wrong. I had noticed that my dark brown loveseat was developing cracks on both sides of the recliners and on one of the arm rests.

I didnt know what to do about it. By chance I dropped by to visit my brother and sister in law. While I was there they received an Amazon package. It was this Fortivo product to use on their sofa! That is how I learned about the product.

Word of mouth. When the product arrived I was sure it would be hard to apply to the rather large areas I needed to repair and not sure I would be able to match the color. There were a couple of brown tubes and a lot of other colors.

I read the mixing instructions and tested one of the brown tubes. It was a little too light so I added a small amount of black to the mix and it matched perfectly. And I was pleasantly surprised to find that after smoothing out the damaged areas and removing the little pieces that were fraying, it only took a few minutes to apply the Fortivo product.

I used the spatula to apply it. It dried quickly and looks great! I am so glad I learned about this wonderful product.

Super patch!Its all about the planning here, in color match and the cleaning/prep. Their pictures were pretty true to color. This is the Dark Brown and it matched even better than expected. I just conditioned the sofa, so its extra shiny today do your conditioning! To prevent the need more more patches from cracking in the future.

There are two patches on the seat of the second farthest section in the photo. I love that this came with two sizes and I could cut it to size. I recommend cutting with rounded corners again, as square corners will lift more easily.

And use DISTILLED water whenever you clean leather as to not leave mineral remnants. Ill update if the patches fail in time. Today Im thrilled.

The quality of this leather patch is excellent. It was easy to apply, and the only issue I had was that I actually needed a larger size.

It is too expensive and cheaply made Worst leather ever bought

It worked well, it was just smaller than i thought it would be..

Don’t buy this crap. The kit provides a little cloth and even smaller piece of mesh. For the price, it’s not even worth it. You’re better off getting a different product or just sewing/patching holes yourself.

The photo shows three holes that need to be repaired, and the materials provided in the kit–in comparison to a standard 8×11 sheet of paper. Can’t even get my money back because stores are not accepting returns as a result of COVID-19.

GOOD PRODUCT . EASY TO WORK WITH . TAKES A LITTLE PRACTICE ON SCRAP MATERIAL .

This product worked a miracle! I got a hold in my one of my back car seats, and this stuff worked so well you can barely tell it! Love it!

A cousin of mine who’s an upholsterer had used this product many many years ago and had told me this actually really works. I have a small puncture in my seat in my classic 66 chevelle and figured I give it a try because the next step would be to have the front seats re upholstered.

But I’m pretty confident it will do what I need it to do especially with such a small repair.

The kit came in no time and looked as though it was in great shape. However, I was the problem. I ordered the wrong kit – I wanted the kit without the hot repair kit. My husband has told me that it will not cure correctly and may end up sticky after correctling the problems.

I have not opened it. The entire kit is still glued shut. Please let me know what I have to do to return/exchange the kit so that I may get the cat scratches on the vinyl chair corrected. Not buying a cat in the first place would have helped but it is too late for that! Than you.

I was very concerned that I would not be able to repair a rip that was right in the middle of my leather couch. This kit was amazing, and the small line that shows, blends perfectly with the natural aging of my couch!.

I have six vinyl-upholstered dining chairs that started to crack and peel, and this product helped immensely! I had originally bought the 7-color kit, but needed more red color for burgundy-colored chairs and found the 10-color kit came with more product per bottle and allowed me to match the color even better.

Shout out to the great customer service– when I emailed the company to get advice on finishing this big job a real person emailed me back quickly and sent out more product promptly. As others say, this is easy to use and looks great when complete.

Only feedback: it would be good to be able to purchase single color tubes separately because I only need 2/10 colors for future repairs.

Im a perfectionist I admit it. I have an antique car that had tears in the leather in two areas that were driving me crazy. One, on the door, had been an eyesore to me since the cars restoration in 1986 – 1988.

The other, on the sill near the drivers seat, was from my own doing–my watch sliced a gouge when I was exiting the car recently. I searched Amazon for a leather repair kit that would take care of my needs and found it in the Fortivo Leather Repair Kit.

This product exceeded my expectations. It took two tries, but on the second mixing and application, I hit paydirt. I mixed an equal amount of blue and yellow, and added a small dollop of black, and the color was my perfect suede green, matching the interior of the car.

Note that I was worried I would botch the job, but you can remove the product easily with isopropyl alcohol, and try again. I think thats a very important feature to point out. Note that the product shrinks slightly upon drying, so I added a second application after about an hour to fill in the gaps.

The product dries quickly, within a few hours, which is a good thing. Also, as noted in the instructions, it dries slightly darker, but my mixture was very slightly on the light side, so the result was a near perfect match.

As mentioned, I’m a perfectionist, and using magnifying goggles, I could hardly notice a difference. After 24 hours, I put some alcohol on the supplied cloth it has a 3D leather-like pattern on it and compressed the shiny repair into the area, per Fortivos video instruction.

The result took away the shine and blended the repair into the leather. I think I have it down!After a week, I applied some Connolly’s Hyde Food English leather conditioner to the repairs, and the result was better than I could have ever hoped for.

I have attached photos. The pics were taken with both flash and natural light to give a good representation of color match. Note that I took advantage of Fortivos offer for help in color matching. I.

The colors are easy to mix to come up with the color you need. The only thing is for me is that I try to mix the color at night with lighting that did not show the correct color of the leather chair.

Are used a brown base instead of a black base with a little brown in it which I should’ve done. I suggest that you use a full spectrum light as you do this, or do it in sunlight. It will save you some trouble the instructions don’t tell you much, but it says that it dries a little lighter color.

Maybe some do, but mine didn’t. It was the same color throughout the mix and after it dried. Correcting the color was not a problem either. All I did was to reapply a little bit of the right color over it.

One more tip… Send off or trim the roughness that you’re covering, as much as possible. You could also send the patch over after it dries well and apply a second coat to come out nice and smooth. The picture shows a repair where the white padding was showing.

I really wasnt sure what this is or if it would work, but I figured Id give it a try. The compounds of different colors come in small plastic cups. You mix them to try to match the color of your repair.

Getting the sage green color right is the hardest part for me. After cleaning and prepping the area to be repaired, applying the compound is rather easy with the small plastic spatula provided. Turns out that the compound is a paste-like substance that when dry has the feel of the leather or vinyl.

My sofa had one worn spot that was almost through the leather and large areas on the cushions where the finish was worn off and felt like rough suede. After cleaning, sanding with a very fine sandpaper and allowing to dry completely, I applied the compound.

Because I was repairing a large area, I only had enough for an initial coating but I was really impressed with the finish already. It seems to have bonded to the surface completely and has the pliable feel of finished leather.

I requested more compound from Fortivo so that I could apply a second coat and Darren kindly sent me more very quickly for free. A second coat should fill the porous areas that remain shown in the photos.

I havent applied the second coat yet and I hope I can get the color to match again. Even with the only first coat applied, I am no longer considering a new sofa. Thanks Fortivo!Update: Its now 8 months later and the repairs I made are still holding up and looking good.

I finally got around to finishing the remaining porous rough spots with the free extra compound. I made enough to coat the whole front half of the cushion. I applied it with a small kitchen spatula. It went on smooth and dried to a nice finish.

Soaked a cloth in 95% rubbing alcohol and lightly buffed out any imperfections. After completely dry I applied a leather cleaner/conditioner and it looks great. Its now all a smooth surface and unless you really look for it, you wouldnt notice that it was repaired.

Again, the h.

I dont usually write reviews but this stuff worked great! I had a 1/4 sized slit in my Tacomas leather seat,I bought this stuff because I googled best leather repair kit and this was one of the suggestions, I liked that it was a simple process because the glue is mixed with the paint, I have brown leather seats and the brown matched almost perfectly without the need for mixing in any other colors! I am 100% satisfied and completely happy with the results! I cant say enough good things about this stuff,it works like its supposed to, I thought I was going to be disappointed because of what some of the other reviews said about it, but I had nothing but positive results and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to repair there leather!.

The color mixing chart is very helpful. I was a little reserved to use this product and viewed several videos to see how to do it. It looked easy and as it turned out it was. I started out with a small worn area on our 10 year old couch.

That turned out well and the color I mixed up matched well. Unfortunately, our 1 year old pup decided to chew on that same couch in a different area. The hole he made was a 2 inch circle. I followed the directions and the result was fabulous.

However, I needed to apply a second layer to the repaired area and did not have enough of the brown and black product to accomplish it. I contacted Fortivo and they graciously supplied me with what I needed, for FREE! I highly recommend this product.

Did not appreciate the challenge in “mixing” colors to obtain the desired effect. Basic instructions describe the general colors to mix for color. For example “Chestnut” (but no color to see) start with yellow and add red, black and white.

Very challenging to add 1-2 drops in mixing. Found on net some good mixing sites that you can add drops and formulate ratios of the colors by observing the change in hue. Otherwise need artistic talent.

I bought this to revive my leather handbag. You have to mix two colors together to make navy blue and I am not so good at that lucky I just did a small spot. But if you are good at mixing colors together to get red ,orange navy blue maybe it will work for you.

Dye had worn off some of the seams on our leather sofa. Used the leather kit and it completely covered those areas and you cannot even tell it’s been covered. Saved us from needing to purchase a new sofa.

Very pleased with this product and highly recommend.

Used once on a leather belt that was coming apart and it’s mended great so far. Went to apply another application and it seems the can is glued shut. Docked another star because the applicator brush was bent in an L shape.

Would like a replacement please.

It worked well on one part of the crack. But it actually shredded the material in another section of the same crack. So the repair is invisible in one spot & very noticeable in another spot b/c I had to try to patch it with a tiny piece of material where the other part shredded.

I bought a leather belt in 1983 in Marbella, Spain while on vacation. I have worn out the stitching though the belt leather is top quality condition. I used your product to cement the leather lengths together and it has so far worked as advertised.

I had some worn places on our 8 yr old dark brown leather sofa and recliner. I mixed the brown and black touch-up at a 2:1 ratio and applied 3 light coats. Color matched perfectly. You can not see where I applied the touch-up.

I was pleasantly surprised that the product really worked. I enjoyed mixing the colors to get my leather chair color.

Best to leave overnight to dry / harden. Tends to be pulled out of the scratches or small tears when sanding it back. Significant sinkage so requires 2 or 3 applications which means 2 or 3 days to repair slight damage.

used the heavy filler to repair heavy wear and cracking to car leather seat . excellent product . very flexible took a little practice as never used before but results were excellent

I purchased the Heavy Filler because I purchased filler 10 years ago, which worked very well for a number of years. Recently the filler because of age was not as workable(hardly surprising)I therefore purchased new filler which has worked very well.

I would add when I dealt with Furniture Clinic 10 years ago and again recently I found their employees very knowledgeable about the companies products, how to apply them and I was given very good all round practical advice.

I have just ordered a new different leather colourant which I am looking forward to receiving and using as previous colourants have been spot on with the colour I cannot speak highly enough about the company and its employees thank you Furniture Clinic.
