It works

The media could not be loaded. So my first attempt at this didn’t go so well, but I did manage to get some pretty spectacular results in the end. Read on if you want to learn from my mistakes!1. Prepare the area! By this I mean sand with some 300-600 grit wet and dry paper (I can’t tell you how important this is otherwise the product won’t adhere to the leather/vinyl.2. Clean with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry thoroughly.3. Mix the product with acrylic paint to get a close colour match. This is the hardest part the leather I was repairing was grey but it also had a hint of yellow and green. I had bought the very expensive Angelus leather paint in black and white, thinking I would be able to match the grey. I was wrong. I ended up using my daughter’s art acrylic paints to get a fairly decent match. It was almost impossible to get an exact match (but this will depend on your skills).4. Sand. Wait for the product to thoroughly dry. This is 24hrs minimum. Don’t be tempted to rush this stage as the product will roll off like glue. What you want is to blend it in to the surrounding area. You may need to apply several more coats of paint and filler to get good results. TIP: mix your filler/paint in a small sealable pot so you can use it again without having to try and colour math again.5. Paint - depending on the colour/tone the paint may dry lighter or darker. This is super annoying as a perfect wet colour match may dry differently. Try to re-mix the colour to compensate for this and paint over the area.6. Blend. Depending on how good your colour match is you may need to blend it in to the surrounding area. For this you can use your finger and rub the paint on like shoe polish. I ended up covering the whole boot to get a good blend. Depending on the size/value of the item this may not be an option!I hope this review helps someone, I’ll let you judge for yourself from the before and after photos but I am pretty pleased with the results.Thanks for reading!

I've never used anything like this before, it did the job but I really struggled to remove after 24 hours.

I do several layers to fill out scratches and heels. Very pleased
