Customer Reviews

This product is ok. It takes a few steps. An application of glue/filler then 4 hours to dry. When you get to the final step you're required to mix your colors. The problem is the heat-curing process.
You're required to apply a piece of texture over the color. Holding it in place (with tape or by hand), you place an included wood-dowel with metal disc attached to the surface of a hot iron. Then, apply that to the texture to cause a heat-cure.
Well, that part of the process doesn't go well since the included heat transfer tool never seems to heat up enough or transfer enough heat to the material. I finally applied the iron directly to the texture fabric and got it to cure/dry. The repair is OK. I'm sure if I could practice 15 times with this stuff then do my repair, it would look better. The problem is, nobody is going to build up experience/practice with this product prior to an application that matters. And, the results of the novice taint the products potential I'm sure.

Unless you have a nearly invisible scratch or a very tiny hole in your leather or fabric, I would recommend you not waste your money on this product. You will have to mix the colors that come with the kit to try to match your existing fabric's color. This is very difficult to do unless the fabric you need to repair is a color that doesn't need to be mixed, like black, white or yellow. You will also have to "heat cure" the repair using a little metal dowel that doesn't get hot or stay hot. Without enough heat, the "repair area" doesn't cure so the repair compound remains moist and tacky and then you will have to try to clean it all off to make sure it doesn't get on your clothes when you sit on the area that was repaired. This may work on a hole no bigger than a cigarette burn, but I have my doubts about that. I urge you not to waste your time, money and energy with this repair kit. You will be very disappointed and the end result will most likely look much worse than before you tried to repair it.
