Learn how to repair a tear in perforated leather.
Repairing perforated leather is no differences to repairing smooth leather or grained leather.
You just have to take your time when carrying out the repairs.
make sure you have the tools required to hand, toothpicks and an old dart work wonders as you can see in the video.
If you are recolouring then you need to carry out a leather prep stage first of all to remove some of the colour.
The next stage is to cut a piece of poly cotton fabric, that around 1cm bigger than the tear so that this can be glued in place.
Take a pin place it in the middle of the fabric and then push this into the foam, then get a spatula and work the fabric in so its smooth to the touch.
Once this is carried out, get the water based glue in one side and then then dry slightly, then carefully remove the pin, then put glue on the other side and using clear Sellotape pull the two halves together to close up the gap.
Dry the tear for a few minutes, any excess glue can be removed, then once the tape is removed, clean the surface further.
If you are doing a colour repair after the tear has been fixed, then continue with the colouring and filler if required.
