The problem.
First of all I purchased a leather refurb kit from Woolies as I wanted to refurb all my leather. The kit I got was a No2 kit in Beige which matched the sample I sent perfectly.
I also got a Leather repair kit from Furniture clinic which contained leather filler, gauze, 1200 grit sand paper, leather glue, and various tools to apply the filler and trim the leather.
Apply the glue to the gauze and using the tools provided, push the gauze through the hole and tuck it under the leather. Leave to dry so the gauze is bonded to the under side of the leather. Then apply several thin layers of filler until it stands slightly proud of the surface. When dry, use the 1200 grit to sand it level.
Next colour it using the Woolies leather renovator. It requires a few coats to get the colour to match.
Photographs normally flatter body work and interiors but this picture is pretty accurate. With hindsight, it needed a bit more rubbing down and will need another coat of colour but it is a big improvement on what I had before. Just hope it lasts.
