Fix Peeling Areas on Bycast Leather

Are you wondering how to fix peeling or worn areas on a bicast or bonded leather couch? That can be done in a few simple steps.

Steps

Clean the area that requires repair. Use a high quality leather cleaner that does not have any oils or wax additives. Try using a leather cleaning cloth or high quality microfiber cloth rather than a cotton rag or towel. Microfiber cloths pull the soil into the cloth while lesser quality cloths just push the solid around. Let area dry - you can speed the drying process by using a hair dryer.
Pick off and clean the loose finish with a pair of tweezers trying not to create more damage. Once area is cleaned up lightly sand area with 400-600 grit sandpaper. Wipe off any fine dust.
Shake the dye bottle and apply the leather dye to worn or cracked surface. Push the leather dyes into the material with a rubber glove to maximize absorption. Let area dry- you can speed the drying process by using a hair dryer.
Apply 2-3 coats of leather dye to the surface or until you are happy with the overall look of the repair. Let dry - apply leather sealer as the final coat to the surface and let dry. Again you can speed the drying process be using hairdryer

If possible, do not rush drying times. It is important that the leather dyes are not sticky before applying another coat.
