Just need to apply heat

The product works as advertised. Lots of negative reviews but before you turn away realize that the paint will not dry without heat. Instead of an iron I used a heat gun to heat the “iron” provided. Works so much better. Just apply the iron and heat it up constantly and iron out the patch. It will work if you realize the paint will not dry if you don't have enough heat. First time using this and happy to stop the cracking in my seats.

Works Great

This worked great! I had been researching vinyl/leather repair kits as I have several pieces that my kitten had gone to town on - all the kits have good and bad reviews. I wanted one that heat cured as I thought that would give best repair, so I figured for the money I would try this one. I took the advise of 2 other reviewers and made sure to precisely fill the scratches and used the iron directly over the texture patch (I did try the included heat transfer tool, but then decided to just use iron directly being super careful not to burn the leather). The instructions tell you to heat to 300 degrees - my iron only has fabric setting so I used the synthetic setting. The hardest part is mixing the color to match - so far I've done my off white / beige recliner - I used white with a little brown, yellow and smidgen black to get correct color. Most of the scratches are unnoticeable. For those who endeavor to use this, my advise is if there is a piece of the original leather pealed up or pulled back, try to preserve as much of it as you can - put the paint on the scratched part and reposition the flap then gentle press it into place with the provided spatula. Put the texture patch over and iron - it will blend in perfectly. I also used toothpicks to apply the paint and q-tips to clean around area (sometime my finger lightly). It is time consuming process, but well worth the effort. I happen to like fixing things and have an art background (bachelors in architecture) which definitely helped. Next I'm gonna tackle Burgundy dining chairs!

great product - should come in black only version

Product performed just like I expected - it should come in black only though, that is quite a waste as a significant number of repairs are actually of black material
