Description
A simple, effective answer to fixing minor damage to pigmented leather. Ready to use, self-fixing, solvent-free and available in the following colors:
Directions: Clean the surface well with Leather Cleaner, then leave to dry. Fix any damage (if needed) with Leather Glue WB. Shake Touch-Up Pigment well before use (at least 30 seconds). Touch-Up Pigment may come pre- mixed or in basic colors. In the latter case, mix colors to achieve the proper hue, and adjust the sheen by adding the necessary quantity of Dulling Agent.
Pre-test color in a discrete spot to ensure a match. A match cannot be determined until the color is dry. Apply Touch-Up Pigment with a soft sponge or cloth, making sure to spread the product uniformly, then dry with warm air (e.g. a professional heat gun). If necessary, repeat application/drying process until su cient coverage of defects and color uniformity have been achieved. It’s best to carry out small applications, after drying intervals, and avoid applying excessive quantities. When a large area is to be treated, the finish will usually need to be reconstructed, so we recommend using High Coverage Color and Top Coat (see refinishing section for details). Once Touch-Up Pigment is perfectly dry, an application of Leather Protector will provide uniformity of appearance, feel and protection against dirt.
Technical Tips:
1. If the match is not perfect and you are repairing an area not subject to rubbing, you can add a small amount of color to a sponge or cloth that contains Leather Protector and wipe in a larger area to help blend the color. Applying Leather Protector after the repair without color may help to blend the sheen levels and uniform the repaired area.
2. For two-tone leather, you may need to dab additional amounts of color in a random pattern around the repair area to simulate the two-tone effect. For dramatic two-tone effects, you may need to lightly darken the matched color and dab random amounts around the repair to match the effect of the leather.
3. Hand-wiped leather has a typical color either wiped onto or off of a base color. To repair a large area, you will need to duplicate the wiped effect. Touch Up Aniline may be used.
4. After finishing your repair, rub the leather. If possible, grasp the leather with both hands around the repair area and move the leather in all directions. This will reactivate the grain of the leather and make your repair look much more natural.
