Hi Everyone,

I have a small slash in the middle of the passenger seat on my 03-TL-s.

its about 2 cm's long

The cut is made at an angle and it did not go all the way through.

I was wondering if I can buy some adhesive leather glue from a shoe repair shop to bond the cut back together.


Do you think that is a good solution or should I buy the online products ?


I hope to hear from your opinions as I plan to head down to the shoe shop today.

Thank you all in advance.

 

anyways, I called my local shoe repair store and they said they have the leather adhesive for leather.

Its 7.95 plus tax and its sure worth a try.

i'll post back when i'm done

 

Repairing Cuts and Tears:
A cut through the leather must be repaired with a patch on the underside.
Methodology
•Clean and prepare the leather surfaces by removing any oils and etc
•Slice through with a one-sided razor blade to gain access to the underside. The leather patch must be larger than the cut, work the patch into the hole so it can be glued to the underside of the seat leather, suede sides together.
•Use suitable leather adhesive that can be sanded (Rightlook leather adhesive, Rightlook.com) do not use contact cement because it adheres instantly when the two surfaces touch, which would prevent an inside patch from being worked into position.
•Apply the glue through the hole so that both the seat leather and patch are coated
•Work the patch into place, then press the two pieces together and hold them there until the glue sets up. After the glue has cured fill the repaired cut with flexible filler
