We recommend looking for one that will treat your exact issue rather than future issues.
We tested this kit on a deep scrape on a leather handbag.
We started by reading the helpful instructions and viewing theonline videoexplaining the color-matching process.

We then used a separate leather cleaner to prepare the bag for the repair.
We noted no noticeable odors from the program process, which we loved.
However, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind before getting started.
The Fortivo Leather Repair Kit comes with an easy-to-use applicator brush that worked well.The Spruce Home
Colored products often dry darker than they appear and can take 6-12 hours to fully dry.
However, we found that it was a messy process.
It also doesn’t hurt to wear a work apron or clothing you don’t mind getting stained.
This kit has an impressive 10 color compounds, so you’re guaranteed to find or mix one that matches.PHOTO: The Spruce Home
(We learned the hard way during testing.)
During testing, we liked the very mild scent of the cleaner and the conditioner.
We found the instructions to be clear and easy to follow.
you could also use it to refresh vinyl or faux leather.
We don’t recommend using this kit on high-quality goods unless you have experience with leather.
During testing, we actually found this kit to be a bit challenging to use.
A helpful chart included with the kit makes the process manageable, though.
We love that this works over curves and edges since couches don’t tend to have many straight edges.
Once on, the product is waterproof and resists wear and tear very well.
We love that it comes in various sizes to suit your repair project.
it’s possible for you to even contact Coconix customer service for personalized advice and instructions.
The damage won’t be easy to spot unless you examine the repaired area closely.
Once entirely dry, the glue is colorless, waterproof, flexible, and without odor.
If this happens, wipe away the excess immediately before it begins to dry.
We also evaluated each kit’s ease of use, scent, and overall value.
Plus, youll find leather decor and clothing in every shade of the rainbow, from brights to pastels.
Other leather repair kits include a few shades of one color, usually brown.
This allows you to mix the hues and produce the closest match to your leather.
However, youll need to follow the instructions carefully to achieve just the right shade for your needs.
If your furniture needs more extensive repairs, that cost can easily reach thousands of dollars.
Leather repair kits offer a far more budget-friendly solution (and quicker turnaround time).
One example we love is theLeather Hero Color Restorer, our best pick for color restoring.
It works equally well on leather, faux leather, and vinyl.
