Used this product to repair Lazyboy executive office chair. The seat had a couple cracks that had expanded enough that the leather or leather like material had worn away from the backing. Had cracks across the front of seat but were not really noticeable and some wear areas on the arm rests.The product was simple enough to use. Came with instructions, color chart for mixing, and contact info if support was needed. The company even contact me via email before product arrived to convey they were there to advise and answer any questions I had concerning use of the product.Before purchasing this product, the biggest complaint about other products of this nature was that there was never enough of the color they needed. I guess peoples that complain planned on resurfacing entire living room set with one stock color tube. This is not the case with this product, I probably have enough left over to do the entire chair a couple times.Start out squirting the base color in the mixing cup, then add the corresponding tint colors until the color matches. I got it close on first try, and by that I mean close enough to mend the damaged area before it became a tear. I used the spatula and started applying as instructed, outer edges first toward the middle of damaged area. Let it dry and reapply. After two coats were dry, smoothed out with alcohol and cotton ball.I was pleased with the color blend, but felt it needed a touch of red, which I I didn't have in the brown kit. No worries, just needed it mended to sit on. I tried several different cotton pad, balls, microfiber lens cloths to smooth with. The cotton ball did the best. The more you smooth, the more layers it takes away, and if your a perfectionist, you end up taking too much away and realize there is so much mix left over to go with another layer.This time since the basic mend was accomplished this coat was more for blending purposes. I tried using a plastic razor blade to apply much like you would use spackle or drywall mud. Do a bigger area in one clean swipe. I was pleased with the color match and coverage, but still had lot of left over in mixing cup, so I attacked the cracked areas and arm rests. This stage I used the included brush. Brush was easy to apply, and quickly covered much larger area as well as much more detail in between stitching. I still had lots left in mixing cup, so I gave everything a second coat. Then smoothed with cotton and alcohol.Pleased with color match and coverage, fixed ever minute detail I could find on chair, so went for one last coat to run out what I had mixed.I could have left it at that, but the perfectionist in me kept wanting to do more. While smoothing an area just out of my targeted mend area loosened up and I picked at it to created a new area needed mending. My fault completely, I kept rubbing the alcohol swab across to blend the entire seat with the mended area.I went back to the beginning, except this time used used my experience to make it quick. Started mixing amount I need with the tint color then adding base color. Got close to color match in my case quicker making mix darker rather than making dark lighter as I did on first batch. I used the spatula outside in, then second coat using spatula feathered it as smooth as possible. Didn't get carried away with smoothing and called it good enough. Didn't match as good as first mix, but you can't tell chair has been repaired unless you stick your face right up close.Conclusion: Product well worth $20, SIMPLE to use and customer service is there if you require. Target areas are repaired, self inflicted damage repaired. Lots of spider cracking repaired, arm rests are repaired. Looks nearly new and I should have enough product left to repair this old chair well beyond the expected life of the cushions. I'd buy this product again, if/when i ever run out of compound. I didn't touch the chocolate or white tubes and not much of what I did use. I would recommend buying the universal kit for small repairs just because I still feel a touch of red would have made it exact match.

This is super easy to use, and the material dries to become very durable and rubbery, which prevents any further cracks from happening. My only thing is that the directions are not in English and you were asked to download a separate version if you wanted it in English.

It kind of worked. Area was certainly improved, but the repair compound itself wasn’t great and the colors weren’t the best match to my couch. Served its purpose technically

This product fixed my leather couch. I didn't apply it as adeptly as the demo, but it's so much better than the tear that was there. The color dries slightly darker than applied so go a tiny bit lighter when mixing.
