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 puncture on your leather bar stool.
Cut off any charred material if necessary.

Step 2

Cleaning the Area

Clean the area around the puncture on your leather bar stool 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

Preparing the Backing Fabric (if needed)

For punctures larger than 1/4 of an inch, cut a piece of backing fabric with rounded edges, slightly larger than the tear.
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 puncture on your leather bar stool.
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 bar stool.
Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area.

Step 7

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 8

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 bar stool.

Step 9

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your repair, it's important to properly maintain your leather bar stool.
This includes regularly cleaning the surface with a mild cleaner specifically designed for leather, and avoiding placing the stool in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the material to dry out and crack.
Additionally, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products, as these can damage the repair and the surrounding material.
With regular care and maintenance, your leather bar stool should continue to look like new for years to come.
