Instant Self-Adhesive Premium Leather Repair Patch. Black Bandage 4" x 1.5" (10 x 4cm). DIY Upholstery-Quality Patches for Couches, Car Interiors, Bags

Way overpriced at $17 for on 4x8" patch. Color match is uncertain from the product photos. So why 5 stars....the patch works extremely well. I have a 10 year old dark brown leather sofa with several worn spots, one on each arm, a couple on the seat. These had evolved into ragged holes about the size of a quarter with foam backing exposed. Looking through the repair options I decided to order these patches despite the difficulty of determining the actual color and effectiveness of the patch. The AZ reviews were far better than the other choices. The order arrived and the first surprise: The patches were darker brown than they appeared on the Amazon site and they were a very good match to the color of my sofa. The final appearance when installed integrated well with the background leather of the couch and the patches weren't noticeable to the casual observer. Only close inspection would one realize the arms were patched. I am very happy with the results and feel much better about the exorbitant cost. A few notes on installation: Install these carefully. The glue backing is extremely good, once in place you won't move them without tearing the leather. A couple reviews indicated that they didn't stick well. I can only surmise that the user did not properly clean the leather surface (removing any oils and/or leather treatment on it). Do not remove all the backing paper before installing the patch. Here's the trick: 1. Peel back about one inch at one end and fold that one inch of paper back against the patch. 2. Carefully stick that one exposed inch of glue to the proper spot. That will fix the position of the patch. 3. Reach under the patch, grab the end of the peeled backing and slowly peel it down the rest of the way while using your other hand to smooth the patch in place.

I purchased this to patch up the driver's seat in my 04 accord, where I have two small tears that have developed recently. No matter how well leather is conditioned, eventually stuff just gets old. That's life. I looked up various methods of leather repair, but most of them seemed to require more effort than I was willing to give and/or didn't seem like they would stand the test of time. After reading the great reviews on these patches, I figured this was my best solution. ***PROS*** -Easy to use. Peel and stick. Simple as that. -Quality feel. I'm not sure if it rivals the "finest Italian leathers," as they claim, but it's certainly comfortable material that has a leathery feel to it. -Durable. I haven't had mine on for years, but many reviewers have. Mine has held up to me getting in and out of my car dozens of times without showing any sign of breaking down. I wouldn't be surprised if the patches outlast my car. ***CONS*** -A little pricey. The price isn't awful, but it was $20 when I bought it. Most alternative repair kits are in the $10-$15 range. To me, it was worth it to not have to put any real effort into patching my seat, but a good leather repair kit would have resulted in a more aesthetically pleasing patch for less money (but more time). -Options are limited. Black or brown, plain leather. That's it. My Honda's black leather is perforated, which is a very popular patter for leather. Given the makeup of this patch, I can understand that a perforated version would be more difficult to manufacture, but it would have been nice to have a patch that looked more like my real leather. -Difficult to apply to curved surfaces smoothly. It's not unmanageable, but if you mess up on your first application, don't expect to be able to peel it off and try again to get a crease out. -I wish they had more usable patch sizes. 8"x4" might work for some applications, but most tears start small. I needed a 2"x2" patch and a 1"x2" patch for my seat. This patch is easy enough to cut with a razor, but if I could have purchased a set of six 2"x2" patches instead of one 8"x4" patch, I would have preferred the smaller patches. I know that technically MastaPlasta sells smaller patches, but at the moment you can buy this 8"x4" (32 square inches) patch for $17.80 or a 2" diameter (6.28 square inches) patch for $14.95. $0.56/square inch vs $2.38/square inch. There is also a 4"x2.4" patch for $15.95 ($1.66/square inch). The smaller patches cost 3-5 times more per square inch, which is unreasonable, in my opinion. ***OVERALL*** If you don't mind a leather fix that is going to stick out a little bit both physically and aesthetically, I would recommend this patch over leather repair. It's extremely simple to apply, very durable, and quite comfortable. The complaints I listed above are minor and would not stop me from buying the product again or recommending it to anyone in need of leather repair.

I feel to have got a new settee

Fungerar utmärkt och har hållt väldigt bra genom åren. Så kvalite och kan rekommenderas.

I had little hope of repairing a seam on a leather seat but thought I would give this MastaPlasta a try. I am truly amazed at how it is performing. I needed to cut the patch in half as the seam was splitting in two vital places I thought this would probably reduce the strength of this patch but no, each piece applied perfectly and now weeks later is doing a wonderful job. Next time I know to trust this product and I will buy 2 instead of cutting because the edges are part of the design. I followed the instructions to clean the surface and allowed it to dry overnight I used the seat about three hours after applying the patches but I could have used it straight away as the sticking power is so good. The patch arrived almost within 24hours and I noticed they are made in the UK which is good. I recommend this product. I would recommend this product to anyone needing a good looking and strong repair.

Good product, works fine on my car seat

He arreglado el asiento del coche en un momento y casi no se nota. Muy satisfecho con la calidad del parche y del adhesivo.
