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.
