Coconix Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit

Rubbing alcohol or leather/vinyl cleaner

Cotton swab or cotton pad

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

Scissors or utility knife (if necessary)

Step 1

Preparing the Damaged Area

  • Carefully trim any excess threads and jagged bits from the peeling on your vinyl dining chair seat.

Step 2

Cleaning the Area

  • Clean the area around the peeling on your vinyl dining chair seat 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 damaged area on your vinyl dining chair seat.
  • 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 vinyl dining chair seat.
  • Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area.

Step 6

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 vinyl dining chair seat

Step 7

Finishing Up

  • Once the repair compound is completely dry, use a cotton pad or cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to buff out the edges of the repaired area.
  • This will ensure a smooth and seamless finish.

Step 8

Maintenance
  • Wipe your chairs down with a damp cloth or a cleaner specifically designed for vinyl every few weeks to remove dust and dirt.
  • Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or heat sources for long periods of time.
  • Use coasters or place mats under any items placed on the chairs to prevent scratches or peeling.
  • Keep the chairs away from sharp objects or abrasive surfaces that could cause further damage.
  • Regularly check the chairs for any signs of wear or damage and address them promptly to prevent the problem from worsening.
