Hi all,

Can anybody please tell me how best to repair a small tear, approx 1 to 1.5 cm long in a soft leather chair.

Its only about 18 monthd old and of course Mr. Nobody did it!

TIA.
 
The only method that comes to mind is to slide some folded material through the tear, flatten it out and then put some glue under the leather onto the material.

I am not suggesting that this will be easy to do.
 
Thanks BillK,

Yeah I was thinking about something like that,any idea what sort of adhesive I shoud use. "Superglue" or similar IMHO would set too hard.
