COCONIX Leather & Vinyl Repair Kit | Fix Tears, Holes, Scratches, and Peeling on Leather and Vinyl Furniture, Car Seats, and Jackets | Easy Application with Customizable Colors

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I loved that there were enough colors to be able to custom make any color you need for the repair. Also the customer service is outstanding, I had to contact them with a question and they were very quick to respond and help me!

This product works as advertised. They have a great tech support network and they get back to your questions very quickly and give great tips and advice. I used it to mend a new tractor seat when I forgot I had a Phillips screwdriver in my back pocket. A little mixing and testing on hidden areas of the seat I was able to match the color perfectly. Takes a little time to set up after the patch is made but the results are worth the wait.

After my Amazon research for a leather repair kit I landed on this one. I am very happy with the results and while I notice you can tell a slight difference close up, you do not notice the repair as a whole. I have given in 4 stars (wish I could do 4.5) because compared to what my sofa looked like before the difference is huge and well worth it. However, there are a few things I would like to see different, and this goes for all leather repair kits.I really wish there was some type of colormatch app to help you match your color easier. While this one includes a chart it just tells you the two colors to use to try to match your color. I ended up using 4 different colors to get the closest match I could.I wish that there was an option for a "bigger repair" type kit. What I mean by that is as you can see I had large areas to cover. You are given a tiny tiny brush and a very small plastic spatcula. I needed up using the spatcula but using some paper towel (sponge would have been better) to help blend the color into the large areas. I would like to see a larger container for mixing. Once you have the right color if you have to make more it is almost impossible to make the same color as the first attempt was just trial and error adding in colors. I would also like to see a much larger type applicator maybe a sponge of some sort to be able to blend over large areas.It would be nice if there was the ability to add something to the coloring to make it a little more creamy (like a balm) that you could rub over a large area to fill in small cracks. Kind of a two in one type kit for specific areas and large areas.Despite "wishing" for these features the kit really helped hide the terrible wear and scratches from my dog, a much cheaper option then getting a new sofa. I do want to note that while using the repair color I did also use a little bit of leather conditioner to try to fill in the small cracks on my own. The shine on my sofa is due to the conditioner and not this leater repair kit.Pros:**Does it's job if you can get the right color**Several colors included to help match the colorCons:**Small container hard for big jobs**Not always easy to get the color you need, the color chart is a start but definitely not the answerOverall I would purchase this again if/when I run into this same issue as unfortunately my dog will eventually scratch the sofa and wear will begin to show.

My granddaughter wears lots of vinyl for her work and it get ripped a lot. Not sure why she said she works at the restaurant. hard to use with my arthritis

I was quite impressed with how well this product worked! I read the reviews, and the most important thing I read was to take your time and apply several layers building up to the level of the original surface. We had a hole in our leather couch about an inch wide. The hole was in a circular shape. We used the mesh provided and built the layers up one by one, letting them dry 3 hours in between. You couldn't even tell there had been a hole afterward! Our couch was mult-itoned red leather. We started with the darkest colors first after custom blending and dappled on the lighter colors after we had built up the hole to be level with the leather. Worked like magic!

The color matching can be tricky, but I don't think there's any easy way to do this. I ended up using a blend of three colors (cream, tan, black) to get amazingly close to the original leather color. Dries flexible like real leather, but I did apply three coats to fill the cracks in my car seat. Make sure to mix up some extra in the little container that gets sent, so you can seal it off and apply another coat when the first dries.
