Holy cow, is all I can say. I had some doubts but as the steps of the repair progressed from one level to the next, I was totally blown away especially by the end of this video. Leather repair is really artwork. And you, sir, have those skills. I kind of wished you had written down all the steps, what products you used, where to buy them, etc. in the description area so that someone like me can have a go at a repair like this. I do, however, have a question. How long does a repair like this hold up to wear and tear over the years?
@a.r.t.srealrepairsforrealc82473 жыл бұрын
Thank you, Robert. This is not a DIY channel. Please see your supplier for the products. And as for wear over time, it is impossible to gauge what kind of abuse any repair could be subjected to. The important thing is for the customer to allow at least a week for a total cure of the topcoat. We do know that after that length of time and considering we have used crosslinker, the topcoat is very difficult to remove even with acetone.
