1. The sealant/adhesive is of poor quality. You can see that by simply rubbing your finger and it will come off.
2. The leather colors are also poor in quality. When I attempted to fix a rip of black leather, the dried liquid was easily noticeable and nothing like the picture on the box. I'm not even going to mentioning the contrast for the colors I had to mix.
3. It's nearly impossible to apply the sealant and color without causing a mess to the surrounding area. I even tried putting painter's tape on the leather (I found out it wasn't a good idea).
4. The last step is most tedious. The directions require you to hold an iron against a small tool in order to heat it to a certain temperature. It requires heating multiple times and is very nerve wrecking when applying on the exact area. (a cigarette lighter works just as good).
There seems nothing positive about this product except the quantity of each color. I guess it's just more for me to throw away.

Product comes with plenty of materials for more repairs than you probably will ever use. That is nice as it helps to practice a lot to get the feel down on how it works and to get the color right if repairing something other than black or white. It does work very well and I would recommend it very much so. One point however, you need not heat the "anvil" up to the point of it being red hot as the instructions state. In fact, if you were to get it red hot or try it burns right throug the material. (Note: This is why it is good to practice some!)Best Deals for New Liquid Leather Vinyl Fabric Repair Kit Worth $56/=
As noted by others, although the directions offer approximations for mixing colors, an exact color match can be elusive. Use an iron directly on the grain paper for your leather sofa and you'll get a good, permanent fill for a hole and tear. I had a 3 inch tear that was pulling apart starting to allow cushion stuffing out. Cut the backing material larger than the tear, tuck it underneath, then trowel in the plastic goo with the shirt collar stay, place grain paper on top of wet goo, and iron. Bonds in seconds.

Although I didn't match the color of my sofa exactly, this kit did repair the tear in the seat. I will do it again in order to try to match the color better.The kit gives you enough paint and material to repair several things. It was fairly quick and easy to use. I was satisfied with this product, especially for the price.I bought this sofa (actually two sofas) in Raymour and Flanigan and they wanted to charge me 75.00 just to come out and see the rip and then give an estimate to repair. This kit did the job sufficiently.
