What is Liquid Leather?
Liquid leather is an amazing composition that copes well with painting and eliminating minor defects on various products. It will fill in damaged areas and return the product to its original appearance.
Want to quickly fix a scratch on a leather product? Don't worry, acetone will help you! Just apply a few drops of solvent with a medical pipette to the damaged area. Then carefully scrape off the dissolved paint with a spatula and cover the scratch. If you have deep cuts, use special glue and a backing to fix them.
Once the repaired area is processed, arm yourself with liquid leather. It will quickly be absorbed, and when it dries completely, the damage will become completely invisible. The main thing is to choose the right color of dye or mix shades to return the product to its former magnificent appearance.
Although this product is most often used to repair leather goods, it can also be used to fix minor defects on vinyl or leatherette. Liquid leather resembles a thick polymer cream, and for more serious damage, first glue the backing, and then paint after the glue has completely dried.
Composition of the product "Liquid leather"
Manufacturers of "liquid leather" use alcohol, water, and polymer dyes in their mixtures. When you apply this mixture, it soaks into the damaged area of the leather product and then dries in the air. Keep in mind that this is not a glue, but rather a coloring composition.
Important! Some versions of these mixtures may contain an adhesive base and rubber resin, which makes them more flexible. If you prefer, you can create a similar liquid yourself using acrylic paints.

- It is better to use medical gloves when working;
- Avoid contact with eyes;
- Do not allow skin to come into contact with uncured material;
- This product is poisonous and may be dangerous;
- Keep jars with the composition out of reach of children and animals;
- If liquid leather gets on your skin, rinse the affected area thoroughly under running water;
- Be careful when using the product on synthetic fabrics that imitate leather.
Don't worry, you don't need any special skills or experience to paint over damaged areas. Just degrease the surface, apply the product and let it dry thoroughly.

Then carefully scrape the material off and transfer it to the desired location with a spatula. Once the surface is dry, polish it with a soft cloth and apply the desired color mass.
Keep in mind! The painted surface acquires the properties of real leather only after complete drying. All necessary tips on using liquid leather can be found in the manufacturer's instructions.

When the glue is completely dry, it is worth carefully treating the area with a soft sponge. If there is a lack of surface, no problem - you can use a stencil.
