Join us to discover how you can revitalize your leather objects with a few simple steps.
We will need
- EVA foam
- Synthetic leather glue
- Varnish for fabrics of the same color as the leather object
- Brushes
- talcum powder
- Transparent nail polish
- An eyeliner pencil of the same color as the leather object (or very similar)
Procedure
- If the leatherette material is worn but still intact, apply a little leatherette glue under the worn parts and carefully glue them in place. Next, cover the white areas with the eyeliner.
- Apply an additional layer of synthetic leather glue using a brush. Let dry for 20 minutes.
- If there are pieces of synthetic leather missing from the object, apply some foam rubber and cover the surface with a clean brush. Once the foam is dry, apply fabric varnish and let it dry again.
- After a couple of hours, apply a coat of faux leather glue or, if you prefer, clear nail polish.
- If the repaired parts of the leather item are a little shiny, apply some talcum powder.
Tips
- Always test products on a small, inconspicuous area of the object before applying them completely.
