Coconix Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit (duh!)

Rubbing alcohol or leather/vinyl cleaner

Cotton swab or cotton pad

Scissors or utility knife (if necessary)

Plastic wrap (optional, for adding texture to the repair)

Step 1

Preparing the Damaged Area

Carefully trim any excess threads, jagged bits, or burn marks from the hole on your leather ottoman
Cut off any charred material if necessary

Step 2

Cleaning the Area

Clean the area around the hole on your leather ottoman with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab
Make sure to test it on a hidden area first. If alcohol is harsh for your material, you may use warm, soapy water or your usual leather or vinyl cleaner

Step 3

Adding Backing Fabric

Cut a piece of backing fabric with rounded edges, slightly larger than the hole on your leather ottoman
Insert it with the spatula provided in the kit

Step 4

Mixing the Repair Compound

If your repair requires a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide in the kit to match the color and prepare the mixture using the empty mixing jar provided

Step 5

Applying the Repair Compound

Apply the repair compound to the damaged area on your leather ottoman
Start by applying it under and along the edges and work from the outside toward the center
Use the spatula for larger applications and the brush for surface applications and detail touch-ups

Step 6

Drying and Additional Layers

Allow several hours for the repair compound to dry until it is no longer sticky to the touch on your leather ottoman
Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area

Step 7

Adding Texture

To add texture to your repair finish, tear off a slightly larger piece of plastic wrap
Press it against the semi dry final layer of the repair compound
When you lift your hand off, the area will be slightly textured
Repeat this process until you’ve achieved the desired texture on your leather ottoman

Step 8

Buffing Out the Edges

After the repair compound has dried, use a cotton pad or cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to buff out the edges on your leather ottoman

Step 9

Maintenance

Wipe your ottoman down with a damp cloth or leather cleaner every few weeks to remove dust and dirt.
Avoid spilling liquids or exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Use a leather conditioner to nourish the leather and restore its natural shine.
Regularly check the repair area and if any sign of wear and tear, reapply the repair compound, and repeat the steps until the repair is seamless.

And there you have it! Your leather ottoman is now looking as good as new. You should be proud of yourself for taking on this repair project and saving yourself a significant amount of money.
