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 worn-out spots on your leather office chair.
Cut off any charred material if necessary.

Step 2

Cleaning the Area

Clean the area around the tear on your leather couch 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

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 4

Applying the Repair Compound

Apply the repair compound to the worn-out spots on your leather office 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 5

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 office chair.
Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area.

Step 6

Adding Texture

Once the repair compound is semi-dry, 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. Adding texture will help the repaired section to blend with the rest of the leather.

Step 7

Finishing Touches

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

Step 9

Maintenance

Wipe your office chair 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.
Rotate the chair cushions and use a different seating area on the chair to prevent uneven wear.
Regularly check the tightness of screws and bolts to ensure the chair remains stable and secure.
Be mindful of how you are using the chair and try to avoid leaning back too far or sitting on the arms of the chair to prevent further wear.
