6. Tweezers: geni.us/wolfridetoolset
7. Leather dye (Black): geni.us/fortivobalm
8. Leather conditioner: geni.us/bickmoreskins
Important instructions:
Step 1. Use dirt remover to clean the surrounding area. Give it a quick wipe with rubbing alcohol. You can use air buds to apply alcohol.
Step 2. Glue the tear closed with leather/vinyl glue. Take help with tweezers.
Step 3. Use a palette knife to compress the area on which glue is applied. Keep it pressed for 30 seconds.
Step 4. Rub the patch with a high-grit sandpaper (220-grit sandpaper or higher).
Step 5. Apply the leather compound/filler with the help of tweezers.
Step 6. Let it dry for 24 hours. or Using the lowest heat setting, hold the blow dryer 6 inches (15 cm) away from the leather and heat the compound for 30-60 seconds
Step 7. Once the filler is dried rub it again with the sandpaper. Use smooth, circular motions to smooth out the filler. Keep going until the compound/filler flattens out and blends into the leather around the damaged area
Step 8. Now apply the leather dye. Make sure to choose a matching color. Test the dye color on an inconspicuous area of your jacket to confirm it's a good match before you use it on the exterior. Use 1-2 coats of leather dye.
Step 9. Cream or spray-on leather conditioner formula.
Step 10. Congratulations! You have successfully restored your leather jacket.
