I think in order for this product to be most effective you would need to practice with it multiple times in order to get it right. The product did work to repair the damage, but the shade is a bit off, and the texture does not match. I have no doubt that someone with a lot of experience could make it match, but the average consumer needs a lot of practice before attempting to repair something. I used it in my car, but I would never use it on my leather couch because there's virtually no way to make it match perfectly.

My chair had several places worn where it had rubbed against the window sill. I followed the easy instructions and took my time matching the dark chocolate color. I applied the mixture as directed and you can't even tell where the repairs were made. I highly recommend this product!

The patch included in this kit is tiny. It's only about 3"x3". That' fine for a hole, but not even close for a tear. If you have a hole you need fixed then by all means, but if it's longer than 2.5" then this kit won't do it.

My leather chair had cracked in folds in the seat and behind the head. The repair gel fills in the area but it still looks like a "patch". The creases will continue to cause the gel to crack again. It would probably work much better on a flat surface.

Not sure why its asking me about toys for the review but here it is. I bought it to repair the bar rail on my portable bar that was torn in a couple of spots. I didn't exactly do it as the instructions advised but the repairs were still satisfactory. You have to look pretty close to see any defects and that is what I was trying to do.

My couch had a small tear in it from the children. After using this product, the couch looks WORSE than before. I have three main problems with the product.

1. The directions say to clean the problem area first. They suggest using alcohol. When I applied an alcohol wipe to the area, it dulled the shine of the leather. It looks very bad.

2. The "vinyl adhesive" in my package did not adhere to anything. Heck, it stuck to my fingers more than it did to the material. It was the consistency of clay and bonded even worse than clay. I ended up having to use super glue to get the backing piece to stay in place.

3. The grain paper stuck to the repair job. When I tried to remove the grain paper, it pulled up the dried compound and ruined both the grain paper and the repair job. The directions state to let the compound dry for 3 - 5 hours, then remove the grain paper. I'm not sure if they have the order wrong, or if I should have removed it sooner - but in following the directions as they're written the repair job looks worse than the ripped couch. I am VERY disappointed in my decision to use this product.

The kit that arrives looks cheap and the results you get with the kit ALSO look cheap.
I had a black leather sofa that needed some repairs. Because it is black there was no issue with mixing the right color- my issue is that the product simply did not work very well. The only hole it was able to fix with ANY decency of appearance was a ~1mm hole. Anything irregular or larger, just did not look great after using the product.
Not sure what product out there really works BUT if you find one, let me know.

Would take some experience to get a perfect color match, mixing the colors provided. I didn't and had to scrape it off. I used all the available color to mix the first time, so I couldn't try, again. The kit is cheap, so I may order another, and try again.

I read quite a few reviews about this product...most said that it was worthless. I decided to go ahead and try it myself...knowing that most people are morons. Let me tell you, I was right :-) This product is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please note...if you do not have a creative bone in your body or have never done any home improvement, craft, or art project in your life...this is not for you - just pay to have a professional fix your leather/vinyl tear. I however am quite crafty and found this to be super simple and it did a flawless job. We have 2 espresso/chocolate brown ottomans that my son literally chewed holes in. I bought this, hoping to be able to just make the holes, scratches, etc. less visible. I followed the directions EXACTLY (to mix the exact shade I simply used the brown included in the kit and added some black). After just the first coat I was soooo impressed I didn't even think I needed to do the second step. I did step two and that is when I saw flawless results. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone hoping to save their furniture, etc. Note - it is also wonderful for surface scratches,etc.

This is not a toy! I would give this a 3 star rating. It was ok. I bought it for my son's bean bag chair. It worked well on it. You can tell that it has been patched though. I expected this to happen though. I would not use it for anything but small things like that. I just wanted to prevent further damage and it to be yellow. It did both of those things well. You can tell it's been repaired there, but they were very small holes. This kit includes a patch that is only a couple of inches squared, so it is not intended for larger areas.
