Ta daa !!Well, I appear to have solved the problem with the "Just right" vinyl adhesive tape which I applied on the inside, then stuck some on externally which was better than anticipated.

I'll tag @Kanga42 and see if we can get a response regarding his brand of adhesive vinyl tape. In the meantime, I'll also tag @Jason , @MitchellMc and @EricL to see if they have any good tips regarding this 🙂

Hello @libbybibby

Thanks for sharing your question about the vinyl tape adhesive. I have to agree that it looks amazing, the repair is almost flawless and the colour match is just spot on. The store has a few coloured Duct Tape but these are more like a repair patch and are not made from vinyl. Hopefully, @Kanga42 will be able to shed some light on the type of product that they used on the lounge seat.

Hello Kanga42, well I thought this was up my alley because I love super glue. Unfortunately for me you can’t use super glue on leather.So I googled glue for leather. My girlfriend had the same problem so we put our heads together and came up trumps.You first clean it with diluted white vinegar and warm water all around the rip on a damp!! cloth . That was my contribution ,she is a seamstress and said we need some thing for the glue to adhere to under the rip.So I suggested something hard wearing. She had some left over denim so I suggested we cut a large circle or square bigger than the rip shove it under the rip and put the glue on the denim then push the rip together on top of the glued up denim and put some thing on top like a heavy book until it is completely dry.This may sound easy but believe me it took ages to get it right. Because we are girls we were lucky to have tweezers and fine nail sizzors to cut off any jagged edges on the leather. We took a while mucking around trying to get the leather rip to come together neatly over the denim that had the glue on it. Hours later it looked like new.brenda 🌺

I just checked and I think you would be better off using leather magic. It just seems so much easier than my way b

Hi, I have the same issue with a very comfortable, old , black, leather couch.

What product did you use to fix your couch and did it last long?

thanks

Hello @Debhar

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us.

Let me tag @Kanga42 to make sure they see your question. Would it be possible for you to post a photo of your leather couch? This will let our team members assess the condition of the damage. We can then make recommendations on what steps to take.

If you need a hand posting the photos, please let me know.

Although it is not the same as a leather patch, I propose having a look at using Gorilla 48mm x 9m Black Cloth Tape. It's a multipurpose tape and has a tough reinforced backing.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
