ghetto @$$ aolution to ripped leather

well heres something intersting, i know aot of have rips or tears in our leather but not much we can do about it, a few days ago i was a murry auto parts and i noticed black liquid electrical tape. i was intersing, black like my leather, flexible, wont crack or peel. so i bought it, i had some free time last night so i took some of the heat shield i had lying around and cut into a small piece that i could put under my leather (had tape but but heated seat literally burned it), got some painters tape and did a quick patch on the huge hole i had, and started with the first coat, i did about 5-6 coats with 30 minutes in between each coats, it siad to let ti dry atleast 4 hours before use, so i left my windows down to let air in and the aersol smell out, this morning i cant believe what i see, givein you can still see some of the tape but overall its is blended seamlessly to my seat. i really wish i took a before pic but ill definelty post an after pic soon.

Nice fix.  Definitely get a picture or two posted soon.

sorry not the best pic because i still dont post pic on web host sites, but you can tell where i sprayed the liquid tape since it dosent really reflect light, although if you were in my car unless you knew aobut it you wouldnt even notice.

Very cool! Are there various colors to choose from for those of us with tan interiors?
 

 
TTIWWP!!!!

Gah! You beat me before I got the message posted! DIE!
 
It looks good finished...do you have a before pic?

sadly i wasent hoping on it turning out as good as it did, but just know 1/4 of the seat bolster was missing. i was look at the site and no they dont offer more colors than clear andblack, but i guess in theory you can make the repair using clear and then go over it with flexible spray paint to color match.

Damn a buddy of mine could sure use this if only he had black seats

mhmm i did this last summer, only i used black silicone stuff


it worked well
