Cotton Balls (if padding is missing)

Scissors (if necessary)

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preparing the Area

Prepare the cloth car seat by carefully trimming away any loose threads or burn marks.
Clean the area around the burn marks thoroughly using a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth.
If padding is missing or the area beneath the burn marks is sunken, fill it evenly with cotton balls or cotton wadding.

Step 2: Using the Backing Fabric

For burn marks larger than 1/4 inch or 0.6 cm on your cloth car seat, cut a piece of backing fabric with rounded edges, ensuring it is slightly larger than the damaged area.
Use the spatula provided in the kit to carefully insert the backing fabric into the burn marks, positioning it securely.
Avoid using backing fabric for smaller burn marks.

Step 3: Mixing the Repair Fibers

If a custom color is needed, consult the Color Mixing Guide included in the kit to create the perfect match. Use the empty mixing jar to prepare your custom blend.
Add the matching color fibers and the metal ball to the mixing jar and shake the jar vigorously.
Test the mixture by applying a small amount on to your cloth car seat.

Step 4: Applying the Fabric Glue

Apply the glue carefully to the burn marks on your cloth car seat, starting from the outer edges and working toward the center to prevent air bubbles.
Ensure the burn marks are filled as evenly as possible to blend the repair seamlessly with the surrounding surface of your cloth car seat.

Step 5: Adding the Fibers

Remove the lid from the mixing jar and take out the metal ball. Place the mesh over the top of the jar and secure it firmly with the rubber band to create a makeshift sieve.
Hold the jar upside down above the glue on your cloth car seat and gently tap it to sift the fabric fibers evenly over the adhesive, ensure the adhesive is completely covered.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Use the spatula to gently press down the fibers, ensuring they are packed evenly.
If your cloth car seat has any patterns, such as lines or swirls, replicate them using the edge of the spatula for a natural appearance.
Allow the repair to dry completely for at least 24 hours. Once the fabric glue has fully dried, blow off any excess fibers.

Step 7: Maintenance

Keep the repaired area clean by regularly dusting or gently vacuuming your cloth car seat to prevent dirt buildup that can weaken the repair.
Consider using a protective treatment on your cloth car seat, such as a stain guard or protector, to add an extra layer of defense against spills or future damage.
Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scrubbing tools, as they can damage both the repair and the surrounding area.
If the cloth car seat sees frequent use, periodically inspect the repaired area to address any minor issues early and ensure its longevity.
