Know before you buy
This product is designed for smooth, pigmented leather. It is not suitable for suede, nubuck, or highly porous leathers, as the filler will not adhere correctly or may alter the texture permanently.
No, the Fluid Leather is white and acts as a neutral base filler. Once the repair has dried and been sanded smooth, you will need to apply a matching COLOURLOCK Leather Fresh dye to blend the repair into the surrounding area.
For deep damage, apply the filler in thin, successive layers rather than one thick glob. Allow each layer to dry for 1-2 hours, and sand lightly between applications to ensure a perfectly level surface before recoloring.
Yes, proper preparation is critical. Any dirt, oils, or old conditioners on the surface will prevent the filler from bonding, which can cause the repair to peel or flake off over time.
Fluid Leather is designed to be flexible, making it ideal for high-use areas like shoe creases or furniture seats. However, it is best suited for stable repairs rather than areas subject to extreme, constant stretching.
The product is best applied using a small spatula or a palette knife to spread the filler evenly into the cracks or holes. You may also want fine-grit sandpaper on hand to smooth the surface once the filler has fully cured.
