Leather Repair Tape - Red Brown (2.25 inch x 15 feet) - Realistic Faux Leather Patches for Couch, Sofa, Upholstery, Car Seats & Other Furniture, Vinyl Repair Kit, Self Adhesive Patch

This stuff is great for a quick patch on vinyl or leather. It's very sticky (more so than duck tape) so be careful and use sharp scissors when you cut it as it can stick to them making it difficult to cut. The two person method is best to avoid rough or white edges. Be sure to clean the area first with a non oil based cleaner, liquid dish soap and water is best. Once the area dries, cut the pieces to fit and carefully apply and smooth. It's best to cut lengthwise and use large pieces to be sure to cover enough surface area for a good stick. Works best in a controlled temperature, we have a new HVAC and keep our house cool in the summer which reduces humidity. If you don't use central AC, have older inefficient AC, or you don't let your AC run enough I can see the humidity causing the glue to lose efficiency so in those cases you would be better off getting a patch instead. Overall it works great for a cheap and easy repair to keep the area from getting worse. We're very pleased with our purchase. I only wish I would have gotten the dark brown instead, but we like low lighting so from a distance it's not noticeable to guests.

Great stuff. Much cheaper than buying a new chair, especially since (in my case) the hardware and padding were fine and only the issue was the imitation leather flaking off. Usage: Within a few minutes of being applied this tape is relatively easy to remove and adjust, but it bonds to the surface quite firmly after an hour or so. It can peel the top layer off imitation leather, even in an area that previously looked fine. Also, try to tuck the edge of the tape into seams or into areas that will not see much wear, since that appears to be vulnerable part of the tape. Also take into account the direction of wear: you don't slide side to side on most chairs as much as you do front to back, so running the strips of tape from the front to the back of the seat will help keep it from peeling. This matters less in areas that won't have much sustained contact, like a dinged corner or the back of a chair.

It's only been a week so far, but it seems like this will hold up well enough to get another year or so out of our couch. We have a 'composite leather' couch from a big box store that started peeling in several spots. One roll was more than enough to cover all the torn areas and we have a bit left over. The tape feels quite stiff at first, but it's holding well and staying adhered, and so far so corners are lifting or anything. The only downside is that when you cut the tape, you see a bit of white showing on the short edges when you stick it down - it's the adhesive threads showing, similar to the underside of duct tape. But it sure feels durable and the color blended perfectly. If you're taping over an edge, such as the arm of a couch, you may want to apply strips vertically instead to have better drape going over the corner. Pro: if you need to make a ragged piece of furniture last a little longer, this is what you're looking for. Cheap and easy, and not as tacky as silver strips of duct tape Cons: the adhesive sticks to your scissors, so don't use your best pair or a pair meant for fabric [I shudder at the thought]. They cleaned up with some rubbing alcohol and a few minutes of elbow grease.

I was doubtful, but it worked and the color match was accurate.

Didn’t stick for long. Lasted about two weeks. Color was right on the money though.

Good item, worked for my intended application. So far, the adhesive works well. Tip: prior to installation, make sure to clean the mating surface with rubbing alcohol to the adhesive will stick properly. You can also finish off with a heat gun & squegee or metal credit card to get rid of any trapped air between the tape & mating surface

Bought for my faux leather recliner with a small tear. With this tape can't even see where the tape is. Blends in perfectly for my dark brown recliner.

Initially I loved this tape, it matched perfectly to my couch and it appeared super sticky, but now every piece that I have put on it is having some sort of sticky goop leaking all around from under the tape. My dog ripped a hole in the top of the couch and I had to tape it in multiple little sections, and some of the pieces won’t even stay on top of the fact that the ones that are sticking are oozing this goop around them.

Lovely job on faux leather armchair. Easy to use - no sticking to everything else and itself . Good deliveries. Thank you*

Adhesive to the tape not strong enough, after couple sits on sofa started peeling back

Hace su función bien, los filos donde se corta se ven blancos y hay luego que repasar con una crema con color para unificar, pero una buena compra, llegó en plazo y todo correcto

Great deal! Arrived exactly as described. Great seller Delivered promptly Would highly recommend Thank you

Klebeband mit Papieroptik hat nichts mit einer Lederoptik zu tun.
