Great video - exactly what I needed. I have a small tear just like this on the side of a vintage car seat (Morris minor vinyl) that I want to repair. Can I ask what the backing material that you used is? Is it just another piece of vinyl or something else?

A better way i think, is to use a two part adhesive that you apply to the underside of the vinyl, and to the material you're going to place under the split. Wait for the adhesive on both the vinyl, and the material to dry, which takes about 5 minutes, then place the material under the split, and using a Tefalon sheet, gently heat the area using an iron. The heat will reactivate the glue, and set within 20 seconds. A very strong and quick repair, and if you do it right, there's virtually no sign of the split/repair.

@@trytellingthetruth.2068 there are so many different methods you can use. But when the clients states what they want we deliver what they want. The client is king, if the client is requesting something that isn’t achievable then we will advise them if this. We could even go one further and spray on grain if this client wanted that.
