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)

Step 1

Cleaning the Area

  • Clean the area around the scuffs on your leather recliner 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 2

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 3

Applying the Repair Compound

  • Apply the repair compound to the damaged area on your leather recliner
  • 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 4

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 recliner
  • Once dry, apply additional layers until the repaired area is level with the rest of the area

Step 5

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 leather recliner

Step 6

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 7

Maintenance

  • Wipe your recliner down with a damp cloth or leather cleaner every few weeks to remove dust and dirt.
  • Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
  • Use a leather conditioner to nourish the leather and restore its natural shine.
  • Keep sharp objects away from the recliner to prevent any new scuffs or scratches from forming.
  • Regularly inspect the recliner for any wear or tear and address any issues promptly to ensure its longevity.

And there you have it! Your leather recliner is now looking as good as new. Remember to take your time and follow the instructions carefully, as this will ensure the best results. If you run into any issues or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the Coconix repair experts at coconix.com/support for personalized advice.
