Thank you for this (and all your) videos. You do indeed show people an easy, inexpensive way to do things themselves rather than pay for new things or overpriced services. I grew up very poor and my brother and I learned to DIY and think outside the box. I recently viewed a infomercial video doing the same thing to seats and their products were starting at $60 to do one seat with their "Magic" repair kit! I did the entire interior with your method and spent about $20 and it looked like a new car. I'm a disabled vet and if I can do this, anyone can. Thanks again, keep these videos coming.

#1 How long do you wait until you apply another coat of silicon? I think I need to apply another coat of silicone, so when you say add another coat do you mean to do it almost immediately or wait a day until it sets first? #2, Can you sand the silicon between coats? tanks.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Wait until it sets, it may be slightly tacky, but that's okay. Usually takes 48 hours in 70+ degree weather. And remember the thicker it is applied, the longer it takes to cure. Don't sand between coats. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Can you use a heat gun for faster drying? In cold new England winter here

[@SweetProjectCars]

You can, but it's best to put a heater somewhere to keep the temp at 70 degrees for a minimum of 24 hours, it dries best in hot weather. Thank you for watching and asking Steve. Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@amjamil903]

@Sweet Project Cars. I would love it if you can tell if these steps are correct. I'm going to be attempting this tmr. And would like to know if I got everything down. So first I clean the seat with 99%, then apply leather prep. Then I apply the silicone, let it rest for 24 hours. Then after it dries. Do I apply another layer? Anyways, after that I reapply 99% and leather prep? Then get into the painting process. Does this sound correct?

[@SweetProjectCars]

I would take and watch all three videos in the series before you attempt and a real good way to do it is take some of your paint and add it to the silicone before you spread it watching one of the videos you will see that it works really good thanks Mike Sweet project cars

[@strangerdanger4212]

Those look great. Makes me want Leather seats. Thanks Mike

[@SweetProjectCars]

Stranger danger thank you so much my friend cool thing about this is that it works on vinyl seating as well but I would imagine you have cloth?

How well does this method work for perforated leather ?

[@SweetProjectCars]

It works great if you don’t mind your perforation being covered up thanks mad Mike

[@motorgearhead]

Another great video! Do you think a rip or hole could be repaired using this method. I was thinking that it may be possible to glue a backing patch inside the rip/hole and then use this technique to fill & level the the backing patch to the surface of the seat material. The hole/rip is on the side bolster of a seat back. I’m thinking this may work. What are your thoughts?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Motorgearhead Your ideas on fixing a hole or very close to what we would do give it a shot and see how you like it

[@Jessicaro]

@@SweetProjectCars i know but i am from europe and it doesn't sell here that is why i am asking if normal silicone would do the same?

[@Jocko690]

I have a question sir. I messed up somehow and had to reapply silicone due to uneven and application and also have blotches. Tried removing the silicone with many products and was not very successful. How can I correct this ? Keep reapplying silicone until is smooths out better? And if so how long to wait before running my thumb over the area? TY

[@SweetProjectCars]

You are going to have to apply until it's smooth now, and if you are doing this in a hot dry area, you've got to be johnny on it! Make sure that your silicone nipple is cleared out onto a rag so that you are applying absolutely fresh silicone. Try to put enough at the beginning so that when you run your spatula over it you run out at the very end where you no longer need silicone. A couple of tips: 1. hold the spatula as flat as you possibly can so that it lays on smooth 2. as far as your ridges are concerned, use the back side of your finger to smooth them out (the area between your 1st and 2nd knuckle). Another tip is you cannot dilly dally with this because the silicone almost sets up immediately so you gotta move fast and efficiently. Hope this helps, all the best my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Both work great, the reason we came up with the mixing of paint and silicone is because most people don't know how to get the paint to adhere to the silicone, so hence the video mixing the two to help out those that struggle with painting silicone.

I have heated and cooled vented leather seats in my Kia Optima. The perforated area (lumbar) where the air comes through have some rips in them. The panel is about 12" x 12". I would love to use the silicone glue technique to stop all of the ripping but this would not allow the air to pass through. How would you recommend fixing that? Can you do a video to show that repair so the air can still vent through? Maybe use your technique, then poke each hole with a pin before the silicone fully drys, maybe after it drys?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Roger Jimenez we do small areas on seats like this and poke holes in the seat before it drys with a tooth pick, but it is best to replace them

Also on the leather and vinyl repair kit is that something that we need i didn’t see you use it in the videos i watched all 3 of them multiple times to see if i missed the part where you use the kit but you only use the silicone. Why would we need the kit for? I’m sorry if you’ve answered these questions before, i was trying to look over some comments to see if maybe someone asked this before but i didn’t find any. Thanks!

Is it a good idea to used a hair dryer or heat gun to cure the silicone faster? Also, would I have to reapply the 99% IPA if I need to use another layer of silicone? Because I touched the area to knock down the ridges like you mentioned.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Roger Jimenez silicone air dries the best in warm weather so a hair dryer will not work very well. and not you do not need to use the 99% again as long as you have not touched it with your fingers. if you did then you will need to wipe very lightly with your 99% but only if the silicone is completely dry mike

[@rogerjimenez3335]

@@SweetProjectCars i had to to knock down the ridges as you instructed on the video. I will use the IPA. One more coat of silicone after sanding and IPA then it should be ready to paint. Sorry I did not take a picture of the original cracking on this vinyl office chair.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Roger Jimenez sounds like you have a handle on it my friend good job

[@jawaidakbarchaudhry8255]

Hi, interesting video, I have a query here, when this seat is finished and is used ie. if someone sits on it, will the fillings will not come out due to the fact that the leather and the foam underneath it had a flexibility to stretch a little or more depending upon the weight placed on the seat. looking forward to your comments.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Jawaid Akbar Chaudhry it works great of course it does not work if the foam is showing through the seat.

[@MurrayMints]

WOW ! What a video, this is just what I need after my jeans rivets wrecked my leather seat. Can you do a small patch or do you need to do a full panel ?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Do you watch the first video in the series you’ll see how to do just a small area my friend

[@MurrayMints]

Got it, thanks again. Sweeeet .

[@SweetProjectCars]

You’re very welcome my good friend

[@billytscherne4643]

Can this method be done for leather seat that are tearing from the seams?

[@SweetProjectCars]

You can definitely give it a try but most generally when they’re torn at the seams you need to replace the seat cover with an OEM cover thanks and have a great day mad Mike sweet project cars

[@alexcopland164]

Also in one of your other videos you mentioned backing material for larger holes, what types of backing materials would be suitable if the seat is heated?

[@SweetProjectCars]

If you have heated seats, you almost have to replace the seat covers with OEM. Thanks for asking. mad Mike the hammer SPC

I use denim patches with no probs. Buy them at Walmart in the sewing section.

how does that spray paint not start chipping? I know you're not putting a lot on there, but i cannot see that not rubbing off on people

[@richardracicot1982]

I'm confused you painted regular silicon without your trick of making paint stick to silicone ,I'm I missing something? Thanks in advance.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Don't be confused, do this video where I mix the paint and silicone, kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaGZeXqJiLZ6js0 then follow the video on how to apply it to the seats shown here. Hope this helps Richard, thank you for watching, have a great week and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@ShelbyTurnerMusic]

Wow! So happy I found this video! You are wonderful at explaining everything! Trying to do a repair on an accent chair. Do you have any tips on what is a good way to tell if something is real leather or vinyl? And if you use the leather prep on vinyl will it not work as well on the material and vice versa? Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much! 👍🏻 great videos!

[@SweetProjectCars]

Hello Shelby if you look through our videos you will find how to prep and color vinyl the best way to tell if something is vinyl is to find underneath the seating where is stapled and look at the edge of it you will know immediately the vinyl prep spray is different in those videos you’ll find all the tools needed in the show more of the video description

[@HapieThoughts92]

Would this work on a recliner type chair that isn't made with real leather? My arm chairs are peeling in areas and I'm looking for a lasting fix! They aren't holes like something ripped, it's just the top layer is bubbling and peeling.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Sounds like the chair is in pretty rough shape so I guess it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot it is worked on everything we have ever used it

[@kristaedwards6697]

I'm about to do this project. The only thing I'm concerned about is paint doesnt stick to silicon. I will be using sem paints and prep. Im just so worried it just won't stick.

[@SweetProjectCars]

We have never had the non sticking issue, make sure you watch all 3 of the videos in the series, you will find all kinds of tips and tricks. If you are concerned about it bonding, in one of the videos you will find where you can mix 25% of your color with 75% of your silicone. Let that dry then you will find that your paint will stick even better. Thanks and have a great day! mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@CharmleysChopShop]

What do you do if the seat has a tear in the seam

[@SweetProjectCars]

Here's the problem when it's in the seam where the stitching is, the stitching actually holds the seat cover together. Our method will not work real well with that because the first time you sit on it, it will pull it apart, you can try it, but we suggest getting new seat covers from your manufacturer. Thank you for watching and asking, have a great day John. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Hi, Great video but can you please show how to use the spray can to get perfect finish. Thanks Shaz

[@SweetProjectCars]

It is extremely easy hold the can in about 2 feet from the seat start spraying at the edge of the seat let go when you get to the other edge repeat that process and your seats will come out beautiful try to overlap your last spray by a couple inches

Does the seat still feel the same as leather? Or would it feel stiffer/different?

Elliott Kan well it feels good for a repair the best thing to do if you want the seat to be perfect and new of course is just replace the seat cover with the OEM replacement but for a repair, this works great and last for a long time.
