This product has given my Timberland Boots a much needed revitalise. I got a 125ml bottle and I've used the whole lot on my 6 pairs of nubuck boots. They've never looked better. Thankyou.
Easy to use and effective. Only wish there was a navy blue dye available.
I have before and after photos so you can see what an amazing transformation your product has achieved. Next to do the upstairs corner lounge.
Thank you so much.
Excellent product!!Absolutely stoked!!Did some research on which product suits certain leather,which I think is a must 😁👍
I love Leather Hero and been telling everyone I know how easy and great it is to use…just wish I didnt have to use it… if you know what I mean !!!
Essentially the product does fill the cracks as described. Yet, the jar is very small and the colour (orchre) match not right. The colour is bright, almost safron coloured. The sofa is dark brown, and the colour ordered not a good match. It was the closest on your colour chart.
Thank you.
I sent paint swatches to get colour matched and they’ve done an amazing job. The whole process of fixing my leather couch has been made so easy.
100% satisfaction here!
I’m very pleased with this product, my steering wheel came out really well
Worked well, restored the colour on couches back to looking like new.
Only criticism is that I found that there were different instructions on the products to the instructions on the website. It would be good to have a instruction leaflet or QR code in with the products. I bought the Aniline Restoration Kit and individually there were instructions on the bottles, but not an overall instruction on the process, other than on the website.
I have cleaned my leather shoes and bags that had mildew due to humidity with mildew cleaner and then leather conditioner. They have come up looking wonderful and I am hopeful that the cleaner keeps the mildew at bay.
Wanted to dye a brand new pair of black Nappa leather dancing shoes to white/cream and after several applications IVORY proved to be a lovely creamy off white colour. Leather Hero provided heaps of info on the website which I carefully perused before ordering. I also tested the colour and a few other sample colour pots on an old pair of shoes. Started with a coat of primer. I tried a number of application methods, from paintbrush to cotton swabs, cotton pads and cotton fabric. I suspect that spraying the shoes with a very small airbrush would be the best way to achieve an even finish, but didn’t have one. (Maybe Leather Hero could find a suitable one to add to their merch). It took around 10 days Drying time between coats) and 10 layers using these methods to achieve acceptable (though not perfectly even) coverage. Fortunately I had purchased a 100 mil bottle. Then came the test - dancing in the white shoes. Surprisingly, they performed ok, except where the feet rubbed together. The black scuff marks are actually the original leather colour showing through. Anyroad, that can be repaired and I will allow them more time to cure before subjecting them to such hard wear and tear in future. Having learnt from my first experience with the product, I am confident that my next try will be perfect! Thankyou LH! I did plan to add photos to this review, but couldn't upload them.
In planning to dye a brand new pair of leather dancing shoes from Black to White, the sample pots provided a means of testing on an old pair of shoes to see which shade was preferred, an indication of how many coats might be required and opportunities to experiment with different application methods. It came with a white leather sample as well which is helpful. Delivery was fast.
Very pleased with this product. Our 20yr Dark Chocolate Leather lounge come like new after a wash down, we applied x3 coats of the colour cream and then after they were dry the day after we applied the leather top coat conditioner #7.
Easy to use, works well, you don’t need much product for it to work so very cost effective for odd jobs.
Gule is just PVA glue and not fast curing. Not suitable for curved parts where materials has pressures.
Not very strong either, it came apart/peeled with slight pressure. Not suitable for parts you are going to sit on/has regular movement.
Hi Edward,
Thank you for your comments. We'd like to clarify that our glue is not just a PVA. It is an EVA with special ingredients that give it high bonding strength together with the softness and flexibility required for lots of leather repairs.
Here are some tips that may improve the results you are seeing:
1) Be sure that the surfaces you are joining are correctly prepped with Spot & Prep (No.4). It strips soiling as well as invisible factors that can impede adhesion.
2) Sand to etch the surfaces. If you've already sanded, go back in with a more coarse sandpaper this time. Scuff the surface to increase the surface area which should give the glue more traction.
3) Apply once, wait till it becomes tacky then apply another coat. Wait till is starts to go tacky then join the surfaces.
4) Allow more drying time. The more glue used, the longer the curing time. As you are working on a curved area, give it a week or two to cure (expell all moisture) or use a hair dryer to force cure it.
5) If possible, insert some achoring stitches. Load bearing repairs often benefit from the addtional support of stitching. Check out our video '3 Hole Repairs' for an example.
These strategies usually give good results on leather. If the material you are working on is vinyl or very dry/brittle auto leather, good results may be difficult to achieve.
I’ve been having difficulty getting leather to stick and have tried a number of different glues, but yours has been by far the best. Thanks!
I bought some sample pots to try to cover up the bald spots on my favourite old shoes. Painted on pony hair leather. Leather paints were easy to blend and clean up afterwards. Not the best paint job by me (hard to replicate a furry look on bald leather!), but good enough. very happy, thanks.
Had a 24 y/o steering wheel with small wear hole in leather. After filling hole used restoration kit and wheel came up beautifully. Best part no real skills required.
Amazing quality products that actually work. My first time using these products and I will not be using anything else, they really have exceeded my expectations.
