leather repair kit (2009-04-13)
The product works, but instructions are not very clear! if not careful
the heat applied could be harmful to the piece being repaired; I like to
see to product continue to be available but make it safer to use!

nah - no good (2009-04-03)
You spend a long time getting the color to match. Then when it dries, it doesn't look good and you will want to peel it all off like I did. I only had a minor scratch and now it would have been better if i just left it alone.

Not so great results (2009-03-11)
We had a leather ottoman that had a cut. The use of this kit did not provide desired results. Now the spot looks dirty and we are unable to get the area surrounding the cut free of the residue.

Perfect example of nothing being so bad a few small repairs couldn't make worse.

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.

Excellent product (2008-05-21)
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!)
