[Ruby01]

Advise needed urgently, many thanks

Maybe this kind of thing?

I found a cut about 3/4 of an inch long in one of my leather seats 15 years ago ~ no idea how it got there. I was distraught as it was hideously expensive.
I rang a place(upholsterers/repairers)up and he told me how I could repair it myself.

Take the cover off, use a piece of leather(I cut up an old leather jacket)and glue a piece of it to the reverse ~ suede side to suede side, then clamp it close together(I used telephone directories!).

I swear, it's stronger than the original chair!

thank you all so much have done the reapir so lets see how it goes

How did you do it? did you buy a repair kit or follow solo's leather repair tricks?! . Hope it works well for you whatever you did. It's a nightmare when something like that happens.

I used copydex glue btw. Glue both pieces of leather, allow to dry slightly before applying.

nope had and old knackered leather sofa in the garage which the dog sits on - cut off a piece of leather and stuck it suede to suede but big heavy ornament on it and its done-- in hind site maybe should not have used superglue as area has become a little bit stiff but other wise very happy with my repair job

thanks all of you ---- btw this is my first ever thread and its been a great success

Good for you!

Glad it worked, we have a huge rip in ours Not fixable by us as the covers don't come off and we cancelled the insurance on it 6 months ago as we needed to cut back. not covered by house insurance as it happened as we moved house

MOM. Why can't it have happened in the new house 2 months or whatever in? It's not like you've ripped it on purpose in order to get a new suite...

Hi, I purchased a leather glue kit on ebay, it is made up by a guy that repairs leather in cars but it worked great on our sofa.

There are full instructions on the ebay listing. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pro-Leather-Repair-Glue-Kit-best-glue-leather-/170567781090?pt=UK_Crafts_Cardmaking_Scrapbooking_Glue_Tape_EH&hash=item27b6a1cae2#ht_1092wt_905

Very helpful seller told me never use superglue on leather it will make it crack. Hope this helps
