Leather Hero Glue (No.16) dries clear and provides a strong bond with flexibility. To use, simply prep the area, apply to both surfaces, bring together with firm even pressure and hold steady until dry. A hairdryer can be used to speed drying.
Leather Filler (No.14)
Use this paste to fill small holes, scratches, pet damage and skim coat over well-prepped delaminated surfaces. It can be applied as a stucco coating using a stippling technique to render a leather grain effect. Apply in thin layers with drying between each layer.
Repair before colouring
This high adhesion twin pack gives you the two essential tools for repairing damaged leather. When repair work is completed, recolour the area to blend and conceal the repair using primer, colour and topcoat (or a Repair & Recolour Kit).

Will it stiffen the area?
In the world of glues and fillers, this product is classed as 'flexible'. That means that isn't stiff and brittle and can flex and stretch with a substrate that needs to flex and stretch; that is, leather. For most jobs, any stiffening effect is minor and temporary. More firming may occur on jobs where a lot of glue and filler are used.
Adhesion
There are universal 'laws' to adhesion. Best results occur when the surface is free of loose particles, keyed by sanding, clean, dry, free of oils, silicones, waxes or any other factor that inhibits a strong bond.
What about open seams?
For non-load bearing seams, gluing may suffice. For load bearing seams, best results are usually achieved when the opening is hand stitched and glued.
This product/kit is suitable for use on most leathers.
To conceal repairs made with leather filler and/or glue, refinish (recolour) the area with the leather paint system available in our Repair & Recolour Kits. Note that leather dyes are generally not suitable for covering leather repairs as they are transparent stains that do not provide coverage.
If your leather is pigmented (painted/coated) most repairs can be fully covered, concealed and well blended making them invisible or at least more discreet than before.
Repairs to waxed, aniline or semi-aniline leathers can be more difficult to blend and conceal due to the specialist nature of the coatings. Sometimes, a compromise on all priorities is the best possible outcome.
20gm + 20gm: 30cm area of cat scratches or delamination, a few small tears, or a handbag repair
50gm + 50gm: 1-3 delaminated cushion tops, several small scuffs, tears and fixings, a few patches of cat scratches, or a few handbag repairs
Coverage estimates are approximate. Your job may require more or less product.
1) Prepare the surface thoroughly before attempting to glue. Use Spot & Prep (No.4) and a scrubbing brush to remove any surface soiling, oils, waxes or silicones that might prevent good adhesion. Allow to dry.
2) Sand to remove any loose particles, smooth textural irregularities and key the surface.
Glue (Skip if no gluing is needed. Go to Step 8)
3) Apply glue to the edges or surfaces you wish to join. Allow the glue to go tacky (a few minutes)
4) Apply a second smear of glue over the first then bring the edges or surfaces together.
5) Wipe away any excess glue from the surface.
6) Hold together until the glue cures. This can be done by hand, using masking tape or by applying weights. A hair dryer can be used to speed drying.
7) Once the glue has cured, it can be sanded. More glue can be applied if needed.
Filler
8) Using a palette knife or similar scraping tool, lay in/on thin layers of filler (around 1ml depth). Aim for neat filling to minimise the amount of sanding needed.
9) Allow complete drying of each layer. This is critical to a successful job.
10) Continue to apply thin layers of filler until the depth of the scratch, scuff or surface damage has been filled and the surface is level or you've achieved the level of filling you require.
11) Around 10% Leather Paint and/or Dye can be added to the last couple of coats of filler. Tinted filler can be easier to cover when refinishing.
12) Filler can be applied using a stippling technique. This can render a leather grain look which may help your repair to blend in more effectively.
13) Lightly sand to render the final surface
14) Refinish (recolour) the repair site using a Repair & Recolour Kit

Filled in gaps and scratches dried quickly, it’s a great product my lounge almost looks new again after my cat ate some holes in it and scratched it. I’ve just got to paint it now.
From the quality of the products to the quick packaging and posting time.Fully recommended.
I thought we needed new sofa chairs until my husband used your product very satisfied with ease of use and results thank you
Works exactly as intended and shown on videos. Also some of my order went missing and it was rectified straight away.
I changed the grey leather interior of my classic BMW to cognac. It now has a more premium look.
Easy to apply the product and is strong enough for everyday use
Excellent work, Andrew. The seats look up-market and fully refreshed. Thank you for letting us know.
I used the leather filler for my Porsche seats they had cracks and a hole
The product was a similar colour to the leather , quick drying and easy to sand .
Apply the product in thin layers to get the best results.
I then dyed the seats and it covered the filler easily and the seats came up really well!
Look at that! Fantastic result — glad our filler worked well and yes, thin layers are the way to success.
Works great to repair but I bought the colour black. It’s not exactly black black, more of a lighter grey browny black but it does the job
Hi Hyung Jun, thank you for your feedback! We're glad the repair worked for you. Coloured filler is a somewhat pastel version of the colour because it has a white powdery base. It makes coverage easier and quicker when it comes to refinishing your repair with the Repair & Recolour Kit. Thank you for your review!
Very dodgy result. I had to spend another 2 hours picking/scratching bits of this rubbery filler out of a seam.
Hi Peter, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that you did't get the result you were hoping for. Leather filler is formulated for adhesion, soft feel, and flexibility. This enables repairs that feel soft and flexible like leather. Our videos may help you achieve a better outcome and we are here to support should you have any questions about using the product.

Great result, Scott. Thank you for sharing your feedback about the products and service.
Great product, thank you!
Thank you so much!
I thought we needed new sofa chairs until my husband used your product very satisfied with ease of use and results thank you
Thank you. Glad your job went well.
I was extremely impressed. I used it on a wider area than needed so not a perfect job, but super happy with the result. I had complete cracks, which are now no longer cracks
Fantastic! — thank you for the positive feedback:)
Seems to be fairly good easy to sand my only problem was I bought it in an Ochre colour as where's the nearest to the colour I was patching but when I went to paint over it with the right colour it actually kept leeching through and being a little of a different colour I had to seal it and then put on the Leather colour
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.
Thanks for your feedback. Ochre is a shade of yellow. We do have Brown and Black Leather Filler in our store in a range of sizes. For repair to a dark brown sofa, using Brown Filler or a blend of Brown and Black Filler should give you the ability to perfectly match the colour of your leather. Once cured, the repaired area can then be refinished using the Repair & Recolour Kit.
I was told by a professional that the condition of our armchairs was too bad to repair or patch. We couldn’t find the style we want to replace them so we decided to repair them ourselves hoping that we’ll get a few more years out of them while we consider our options.
The products are very easy to use and effective as the armchairs look amazing - like new. We also used the cleaning products, nourish and protect for a couple of other leather lounges we have and they have cleaned up beautifully.
Thank you Leather Hero for your prompt deliveries, it’s been a fun restoration!
Thank you for the glowing review, Jenny. It's great to know that you are happy with the products.
We used the surface filler in conjunction with the leather binder to repair a badly scuffed and worn leather settee. The order was filled immediately and both items arrived within a couple of days.
Both products were easy to apply and the results were excellent, beyond our expectations and it's very hard to find the repaired areas.
I would recommend Leather Hero and the products we used.
Thank you so much for sharing your repair story. We are thrilled that it went well.
Leather Repair Surface Filler
Thank you!
Very good product
Thank you.
Top class product worked really well. The chair now looks like it’s new covered up. All the defects occurred over the years really looked up class.
Wonderful! Thank you for the 5 stars and for sharing your experience with our product.
I'm actually using it as a filler and finish on my pitted in door skin of my 2008 Lexus IS250. The door skins for these models piped easily and were replaced by Lexus in US. I am about 80% there, just final sponge coats. I'll send before and after photos when I am about 95% there. To replace door skins in USA starts at $400 each, outrageous. If this works the way I am seeing, you will have a lot of orders from all over the world. It's still work in progress. Cheers, David
Excellent! I hope the job wrapped up well and you were happy with the results.
I have an old leather couch with great bone but it looked so tired.
I ordered a new one.
Then seen this product, I gave it ago was was amazed at the result.
I promptly cancelled my new couch order and saved 4 k.
My couch looos brand new,
Wow! It's often worth trying a restoration before tossing out aged leather items. Often, they can be improved and sometimes, transformed!
Great
Thank you!
My wife bought a brown leather hero fill kit and it worked a treat when I used it on a leather tear. Then I decided to buy a smaller black leather hero fill kit and used it on a tear I did on my black leather jacket and it worked well too.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
About to go and buy a new leather lounge. Used your products and it saved us $5,000 for replacement. Thank you
Nice save! Thank you for your feedback.
I think for my first attempt it has worked out pretty well.
That's great. Thank you for your comments on Leather Filler.
Filled in gaps and scratches dried quickly, it’s a great product my lounge almost looks new again after my cat ate some holes in it and scratched it.
I’ve just got to paint it now.
Thank you for your positive review of Leather Filler & Glue. We are glad that it filled the scratches and holes in your lounge.
From the quality of the products to the quick packaging and posting time.Fully recommended.
Thank you, Jason. We aim for fast order dispatch and are chuffed that you noticed:)

Thank you!
I have some Julius Marlow shoes, and there are strips of leather on the heel that have lifted because the heel compresses and pushes them out (it's a poor design). The cobbler told me he couldn't do anything. I cut off some of this leather and filled the gap with the surface filler, then sanded back and polished the heel, and it has come up a treat.
Leather Hero delivers the most affordable quality products with quick delivery. Highly recommend
I had my 4 thousand dollar Louis Vuitton bag with some wear and tear damage I can’t believe how good quality this product is it’s fully repaired. 100% reliable.
