Liquid Leather is a less expensive alternative to professional upholstery repair. Will it look as good as new after your done using this product? Liquid Leather has been around for many years in many different forms. Minute Mender was the original product which was invented in the 1960s.

Liquid Leather isn't actually leather. It's a urethane compound and it solidifies into leather like pliancy when it's heated. According to the directions, you first clean the leather with soap and warm water. Then you simply spread it over the afflicted area. You then use a piece of grain paper to impress a leather pattern into the urethane. Then apply heat for two minutes and remove the paper. There you have it! You have a perfectly matched, indistinguishable repair. Is it really all that easy? Here's the downside.

  • Even with your best efforts and if you follow the directions very carefully, you may not get a color tone that matches exactly. You'll be looking at a slightly off-color patch on your car, couch or jacket for years to come.
  • If you get the colors to match when the mix is wet, the color changes somewhat when it dries.
  • The finished repair looks worse than the original damaged area.
  • The tear may be in a curved area like a couch cushion, so applying heat might be a challenge.
  • It's really messy to work with.
  • Even if you do repair it and it looks half decent the fixed area will start to crumble and pull apart because it's not a flexible material.


    • Liquid Leather is obviously not something you'd want to waste your time with. At best it produces spotty results unless you're experienced with upholstery repair. The problem is, most of us don't have the skill to produce a tone that matches perfectly.
