Patching leatherette armchair
Does anyone know of a way to patch leatherette (I think it's called)
when the outer layer has been abraded away exposing the underlying fabric? I've been wondering if 'puff' fabric dye, or black silicone rubber, or black silk emulsion, would do a reasonable job. -- Windmill, Use t m i l l J.R.R.

It sounds as though it will do the job. -- Windmill, Use t m i l l J.R.R. Tolkien:- @ S c o t s h o m e . c o m All that is gold does not glister / Not all who wander are lost |

Try Youtube videos on the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c8lPMxEe4A Thanks, I'll have a look. On a related topic, I have some cheap Argos tub chairs which haven't had the salt properly washed out of the fabric, so that sweat from an arm soaks into the armchair then dries leaving a white mark. I need to either buy some kind of coating to create that shiny look you see on some folk's clothing, or buy the new Argos chocolate-coloured chairs which come with that type of finish. Any ideas about that? -- Windmill, Use t m i l l J.R.R. Tolkien:- @ S c o t s h o m e . c o m All that is gold does not glister / Not all who wander are lost |
