FAQs
What types of leather can this filler be used on?
The Leather Repair Filler can be safely used on all types and colors of leather, including finished, semi-aniline, and pigmented leathers.
How long does it take for the filler to dry?
Drying times vary based on environmental conditions. Allow at least 1-2 hours between thin layers, and 24 hours for complete curing.
Can I use this on vinyl or faux leather?
While the filler is designed for leather, it may adhere to some vinyl or faux leather surfaces. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Do I need to sand the filler?
Sanding is recommended to achieve a smooth and even surface, especially if the repair area is not flush with the surrounding leather.
What should I do after the filler has dried?
Once the filler is dry and sanded (if needed), you should apply a Leather Colourant or Leather Repair Paint to restore the color. Consider applying a leather sealant for added protection.
Can I use this filler on car seats?
Yes, the Leather Repair Filler is suitable for repairing car seats. Its flexible formula is designed to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.
How much filler will I need for a typical repair?
The amount of filler needed depends on the size and depth of the damage. Start with a small amount and apply thin layers, adding more as needed. A 50ml bottle should cover multiple repairs.
Troubleshooting
Filler is not adhering properly.
Ensure the leather surface is clean and slightly abraded before applying the filler. Apply thin layers and allow each to dry completely.
Filler is cracking after drying.
Apply the filler in multiple thin layers instead of one thick layer. This allows for better flexibility and reduces the risk of cracking.
Color match is off after painting.
Ensure the leather is properly prepared before applying the colorant. Consider using color matching services if the color match is incorrect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Clean the damaged leather surface with a leather cleaner to remove dirt and oils. Lightly abrade the area with fine-grit sandpaper (optional, but recommended for improved adhesion).
- Application: Apply the Heavy Filler in thin, even layers using a spatula or similar tool. Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next. This prevents shrinkage and ensures a durable repair.
- Drying: Allow the final layer of filler to dry completely. Drying times may vary depending on environmental conditions (temperature and humidity).
- Sanding: Once dry, sand the repaired area with fine-grit sandpaper to create a smooth, flush surface. Be careful not to sand the surrounding undamaged leather.
- Finishing: Apply Furniture Clinic Leather Colourant or Leather Repair Paint to match the leather's color. Consider applying a leather sealant for added protection.
