Repairing Cracked leather?
I have leather seats in my s7 RX7 does anyone know how to repair the black cracks? Can you use a black nugget? I have used the proper Leather cleaner etc but no solution? any help would be great.

nah... cracked leather is cracked. Gotta get it re-upholstered. I just make sure mine is cleaned and detailed regularly BEFORE it gets that way. Sorry mate.
|
i had some cracks in mine that i stitched back together with matching thread. ill take pics.
|
It's not opened up or anything it just seems to be a lighter black like someone has sanded it with sandpaper or something?? Probably wear and tear?
|
I use a filler that is used like a body filler that is flexible and can be re-dyed.
Very easy to sand and finish. I get the stuff from 'Color Plus' in Milford, Pa. Check out www.ColorPlus.com Jack |
Sounds like wear. Leather often wears like this. Use leather dye. Apply lightly, adding more coats until it matches properly. Do clean thoroughly before starting. Any wax present will reject the dye. Do wax after. Best wax/conditioner is available at Jag dealers (Hydefood).
