STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preparing the Area

Begin by preparing the damaged area on your vinyl chair. Carefully trim away any loose threads or rough edges to create a smooth surface for the repair.
Taking the time to properly prepare the area will help the repair blend seamlessly and achieve the best possible results.

Step 2: Cleaning the Area

Clean the area around the chew marks on your vinyl chair with rubbing alcohol using a cotton swab.
Test on a hidden spot first to ensure it’s safe for the material. If alcohol is too harsh, use warm, soapy water or your regular leather or vinyl cleaner instead.

Step 3: Using the Backing Fabric

If the chew marks is larger than 1/4 inch or 0.6 cm, prepare a piece of backing fabric with rounded edges, ensuring it’s slightly bigger than the damaged spot.
Gently place the fabric under the damaged area using the spatula included in the kit to create a stable base for the repair.

Step 4: Mixing the Repair Compound

If your repair calls for a custom color, refer to the Color Mixing Guide provided in the kit. Combine the colors until you reach the desired shade that seamlessly blends with your vinyl chair.
Mix the colors thoroughly in the empty jar included in the kit to ensure a smooth and consistent application.

Step 5: Applying the Repair Compound

Apply the repair compound to the chew marks on your vinyl chair.
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

Let the repair compound on your vinyl chair dry completely for several hours, ensuring it’s no longer tacky to the touch.
Once dried, apply additional layers as needed to build up the repaired area until it is flush with the surrounding surface.

Step 7: Adding Texture

When the final layer reaches a semi-dry state, tear off a piece of plastic wrap slightly larger than the damaged area. Gently press it onto the semi-dry top layer of the repair compound on your vinyl chair.
Lift your hand carefully to reveal a textured surface. Repeat this step as needed to match the texture of the surrounding material.

Step 8: Finishing Touches

Once the repair compound has fully dried, take a cotton pad or swab with rubbing alcohol and gently buff the edges of the repaired area on your vinyl chair.
This will help blend the repair seamlessly with the surrounding surface.

Step 9: Maintenance

To keep your vinyl chair in top condition, clean it every few weeks with a damp cloth or an appropriate leather cleaner to remove dust and grime.
Protect it from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause cracks or fading.
Apply a leather conditioner occasionally to maintain its softness and restore its shine.
Regularly check your vinyl chair for any signs of wear or damage, and take care of problems early to avoid more significant issues later.
