Magic Mender repair compound is a “private” specially formulated water based, urethane filler used for cuts, scratches, pet damage, tears, holes, creased or cracked leather, works on vinyl too . It spreads like soft margarine. It dries naturally, or drying time can be accelerated by using a blow dryer. When dry, it permanently adheres to leather and vinyl. Our repair compound is extremely durable and remains soft and flexible, giving your repair the natural feel and appearance of the original surface.

  • Features:
    Exceptional adhesion
    Outstanding flexibility and durability
    Spreads and feathers out extremely well
    Natural look and feel
    Sandable with 600# sandpaper

Includes


1 – Jar of repair compound – Jar contains (1.5 oz/44.3 ml)1 – Applicator tool (palette knife)

Application

Start by cleaning the surface with a damp wash cloth using a mixture of a little liquid dish soap and warm water. Then wipe clean with a damp wash cloth and allow surface to completely dry. Prepare the surface next by cleaning with Presto Prep Cleaner. Allow to completely dry before starting your repair.Spread on thin layers, not just one thick one. It won’t dry properly if you try to apply too much at one time. Three to four layers (or more) is typical. It’s better to apply just a bit more than less. You can always smooth it our with Presto Prep. This way your repair will blend into the surrounding area. If you can still the damage, apply more repair compound. Use a blow dryer, low heat, to accelerate drying time.To remove any bumpy spots and to smooth out your repair, wet a paper towel with Presto Prep and wipe across the surface just as if you were sanding. Be careful though because Presto Prep slowly softens the repair compound and will eventually remove it if you over do it.Normally our repair compound is applied under Color Flex colorant but can also be applied over it if you find that you need to touch up the area. In that situation Color Flex must be applied again to seal the repair. Cleans up with soap and water or Presto Prep.

Shelf Life

If air gets to the repair compound, it will cure making it unusable so keep it tightly closed. Repair compound should be used within 3 months of purchase. It may last longer than that but we make no guarantee that it will so be sure to complete your project soon after purchase.

    The Repair compound is amazing to work with. I was able to spread it on seamlessly, and it went on so easy, dried quickly, and has a very strong texture. I was able to repair 2 large cuts / tears in my leather couch and it filled it in perfectly (after applying a sub-material to bind the leather too). I'm just waiting on the color of paint to be correct so I can finish the project. The first two colors I tried were not the correct colors, but I believe this next one I am waiting on will be it. It's very hard to match the color chart provided with the actual color of the couch. The colors seem to come lighter than what I expected via using the color chart via an iPhone comparison. It's my first project and I am learning. It's very nice that you swap out colors and your return process is very good. The cost of postage is pretty high, but I understand you don't have much control over that.

    This really is the best repair compound. I've tried others and nothing compares to Magic Mender. I definitely recommend.

    Title: Excellent for peeling faux leather!
    Used repair compound on a faux leather couch that was peeling. Spread on smoothly and dried with blow dryer on cool setting. Followed video instruction. Product is excellent! already had the dark brown leather color, so used that. Very flexible and soft material, Seems very durable.

    Title: Grandpa's chair
    Love your products! DIY beginner and my furniture came out wonderful. Service great. Decent delivery. Only wish you had Canadian warehouse. The only problem I encountered was how much product to buy. Reordering and keeping item clean till arrival was frustrating. But overall love the finished look and feel. Can't tell there was ever damage.
    Side note, one chair was grandpa's (my husband) and he just passed away. It became very important to family that I repair rather than replace. Your product really did that. The chair is like new.
