Anybody here ever do a leather repair/recolor on a sofa?

1. Most people find it unsatisfactory over the long term, I'm afraid

since it's only a temporary fix that will need to be repeated fairly often.

Small rips in leather turn into big ones over time and there's little you can do to stop the process beyond enshrining the piece of furniture behind a velvet rope so no one uses it.

However, extending the life of any piece of furniture is a great thing, so the particulars are here: http://tombuildsstuff.blogspot.com/2013/07/do-leather-repair-kits-work.html

Most people at Amazon seemed to like it short term: http://www.amazon.com/Leatherique-Restoration-Products-16oz-Kit/product-reviews/B0002SPCBW
