Match N Patch Realistic Black Leather Repair Tape

Product Information

Before we look at the details on each of the best leather tapes let’s go over a couple of things. The leather tape is a very simple remedy for a lot of professionals and DIYers. Buying the right leather tape is essential. Getting it wrong can leave you with a more bigger problem than what you intended to solve. Generally, leather is quite durable and long-lasting but it still requires regular cleaning to maintain its appearance and prevent future damage. (Hint: for an inexpensive way to clean leather surfaces, use a microfiber cloth and gently dust the surface). But for those inevitable scratches, stains, and holes, we recommend the Fortivo Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit.

Firstly, you use the filler and glue to repair any damage and then restore the colour using the all-in-one Leather Repair Colourants. Unlike kits with intermixable colors, the Leather Re-Coloring Balm gives you a sizable product (8.5 fluid ounces) in a single color. If you’re worried you won’t be able to perfectly match the color of the repair kit to your couch, note that Furniture Clinic offers this balm in 16 different colors, all of which can create lighter or darker shades depending on the amount used. Leather is commonly categorized into varying grades that are used to signify levels of quality. These categories are confusing for consumers and many experts insist that they should be taken with a grain of salt given how widely standards and production methods vary. Nevertheless, the four most common leather grades you will probably encounter are full-grain, top-grain, genuine, and bonded. Full-grain leather is considered the highest quality, made from pure animal hide, known for its durability and marked by desirable natural imperfections in the grain. Top-grain leather is made from full-grain leather that is split and stamped with a faux grain pattern and is used in many “fine” leather goods such as handbags and wallets. Genuine leather is considered a low-quality leather product that is heavily processed, less durable, and cheaper than full- or top-grain leather. Bonded leather is a leather product made from leather scraps, glue, plastic, and other materials that are bonded together and sealed. It's also considered the least durable, lowest quality form of leather. If you have a purse or other leather accessory to repair, it works the same way. If you are putting the patch on the outside, you can try to match the color—or if you’re feeling sassy, you can add a whole new color.
