Got the stuff and the leather solution was switched with the fabric solution and caused a bigger tear. Seller wouldn't even give me a full refund for my loss. My suggestion, don't waste your time and money on this stuff...IT SUCKS!Best Deals for Liquid Leather Pro Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit
It didn't work like it does on TV though my tear was in a curved area so applying heat was a challenge.Honest reviews on Liquid Leather Pro Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit
This stuff is, well... I guess difficult would be the right word all around.I'll admit, I was dubious, but figured I'd give it a shot, because it was better than the alternative. Here's how it was supposed to go:
1. Color-match the liquid patch material (henceforth, "goop") with the handy quick-color guide, then fine tune it to the actual item to be repaired.
2. Heat the heat-transfer device on an iron while you
3. Spread the goop on the repair, backing it with some fabric if necessary, and
4. Apply the grain/texture/transfer swatch onto the goop.
Then it's a simple matter of rubbing the heat transfer device over the transfer swatch to cure the goop, which is heat activated.
But, there were several problems, first and foremost being that the goop is NOT COLORFAST. It gets lighter as it cures, although it is specifically not supposed to. Also, it's impossible to guess for any given mixture how much lighter it will get, so you can't just compensate. Also, if even a tiny bit of it does not cure when you pull the swatch up, it tends to stick to the swatch, then drop away and smear on the general area. This is exacerbated by the fact that the heat transfer device is a 4" wooden dowel with a disc of stamped potmetal glued to the end, and if it's not perfectly even and level (which I assure you, it will not be) it does not heat uniformly and does not apply heat uniformly.
Also, any mistakes or uncured goop is extremely hard to clean, and tends to dry on its own as you're frantically trying to rub it out with the recommended cleaners.
If you're just trying to fix a hole in vinyl or leather, and don't care how it looks, this stuff is great. Mechanically, it's quite strong when applied correctly. Cosmetically, though, well... Maybe you'll get lucky and get it JUST right, or maybe the only people who will ever see it are colorblind.
