Can it be used to patch over small tears in a black leather easy chair? Does it flex without crinkling?

Yes -- the tape is quite flexible, but much stronger and more adhesive than duct tape. It is great!

I really don't know dude, me personally I've really never tried it that way. Only one way to find out is to try it and see. I've used G-tape to hold plastic garbage bags above an opening of an air conditioner to keep out the rain and that worked fairly well at the time. So that's what I can say for you. Good Luck, okay.

Tear Mender will definitely man either leather or patent leather. I used the glue to repair a Pottery Barn recliner and the results are excellent. I can barely see where the tear used to be. The glue dries flexible and clear.

I used it with patent leather, which isn't usually as stretchy as real leather, and it worked fine.

We have many customers that have used LeatherNu to repair cat damage successfully. However, the extent of the damage you have is an important consideration. If your leather has been shredded pretty good, it may be beyond repair. But if you were able to stop the cat from scratching before the damage became too severe, you will get better results. I hope this helps. Thanks, LeatherNu, LLC

This would not be the thing to use on lycra if it was a large area. If its a dot where you want to hole it together. I use the stretch stitch on what stretches. I used this when making rosaries out of twine/ string. I use it to glue the one connecting knot and the cross made out of knotted sting. It holds up well in the wash. If it were another non stretch fabric it should hold good. I have used it to repair the tear in the couch. Then got an upholstery repair kit to go over it with black and the leather design on the couch. But it is not stretchie and would not stetch with the lycra. If you wanted to use it for a small design or an ornament on the fabric it should work for that. This would not be the thing to use on lycra if it was a large area.

I use this product on my light creme recliner which has light cream stitching and it has never disclored the leather or the stitching. I do fine that it doesn't clean the stitching very well and I'm going to try cloth on the stitching the next time I use it like Rancho Guy mentioned and see if I can get the stitching to appear cleaner and lighter.

I used it on a heavy antique rocking chair. I stretched the straps tight across the seat and they still stretch enough to conform to my body. I used fewer straps for the back so it would be softer. The more straps you use the firmer it gets. This is a case of getting what you pay for. Very high quality.

Sorry, never tried it for patching clothes. Can't give you an accurate answer. Try calling the company/manufacturer.

We use it as a buffing material for leather work, I would only guess it is not tight enough to stamp - but have never even tried it. Sorry we cannot give you a definite answer on stamping.

I think so. I've been using it on a chair that's totally upholstered and nothing has been negatively impacted.

The item I received is a split which should work quite well for a short strop after it's prepped and sanded: Both sides of the leather have a rough suede-ish kind of texture and is a bit on the dry side which should absorb heated wax/rouge or buffing compound quite nicely.

I did a really messed up leather chair. Let product sit over night. Worked great. Hope this helps.-

Used it to repair small cracks on the vinyl portion (sides) of a leather car seat about 1 month ago. Holding up well in spite of frigid temps. We used 3M "blue" masking tape to hold the larger cracks together while the sealant set, then pealed off carefully.

I used this product to repair a small tear on a leather sofa seat. The adhesive part is very strong and remained flexible after several months of daily use. I also used the backer cloth supplied, it pretty hefty. Color matching was a bit tricky, but the repair blended in OK, after some trial and error. Should work on car door, although I'm not sure what the temp changes will do to it. This product does use heat setting step to finish up, but not sure about cold.

I didn't try it on patent leather, but I gave this product a 1 star. There are no instructions, it had to be taken apart with a screw driver with each use and put back together. One has already physically broken and I'm not sure the other one is actually capable of opening up enough to stretch a shoe anymore. I did manage to stretch one pair of shoes, but unfortunately I had 3 more pairs that needed it.

I used it for a small cut in the leather on my motorcycle seat and it worked perfectly. I figured it couldn't hurt, and would probably help to make the patch hold better. So far, it's holding great.

I have used it on punctures and cigarette burns and it works well. I really do not know about tears. You could put paper or cardboard under the tear and then put the sides together using performix. You need to use enough so you can sand the area so it is even with the rest of the leather. Then buy some SEM color coat flexible marine coating that will match your seating.( it doesn't have to be exact no one will notice) you can paint just the spot or the entire seat. Use several light coats, it drys fast. Try it on a small tear and see if it works. Good luck. I have done this on entire boat seats and they look great.
