Comments on: How To Fix The Creases In Leather http://theinteriorguyllc.com/fix-creases-leather/ Here For All Your Upholstery Repair Needs Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:01:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Mike-TIG http://theinteriorguyllc.com/fix-creases-leather/comment-page-1/#comment-944 Mike-TIG Sat, 03 Jan 2009 04:18:34 +0000 http://theinteriorguyllc.com/how-to-fix-the-creases-in-leather/#comment-944 Alex, Wow...That's a first one on me, sure it smells nice too. There really isn't a cheap fix. Sure you could use a rattle can dye to cover up the spot, but the problem with cheap fixes is they don't last. Do you really want to go cheap. You spent the extra money to get leather so why not keep it looking nice and do it the right way. My recommendation would be to contact an <strong>Upholstery Repair Professional</strong> like myself and have it repaired right. We use water based dyes which are made for leather and compounds that are made to last, that's what I think you really want, am I right. I understand cutting corners but to have a small spot repaired should only cost you at the most $50. The rattle can dye and the prepping supplies would cost you close to that anyways, so really this ones up to you. If your still interested in doing it yourself though, let me know, contact me through email or even call me, and I'll walk you through it. Talk to ya soon, Mike "TIG" Alex,

Can you send me a picture of the seat? That way I can see the damage. You might try to condition the seat with Lexol Conditioner, but if it's creased like you say, the leather may have shrunk and puckered, in that case you may have to contact a professional to rework the seat, by sanding down the crease and fill what needs to be filled and then redyed, but if it's badly creased then you might need to contact a good upholstery shop, and have them replace the panels that have been damaged. I have seen this before and it's not a pretty sight I know, so I feel your pain in this situation. I'm guessing without looking at the seat you may be looking at anywhere from $65 up to maybe $175 to repair the seat, just to give you a little heads up. If you don't know of a good leather guy in your area, call around to some of the local car dealers and ask who they would recommend, get a couple of opinions though, don't just go with the first guy that comes along, and make sure if it is repairable that the tech uses a good water-based urethane dye system. If there's anything else I can do let me know, give me a location of where your at and maybe I can find a tech in your area from one of my suppliers.

There is a crease in the seat between the half that got wet and the half that did not. Is there a way to remove this crease?
