Hello,
I used the wine color on my leather sectional (one cushion so far) and got pretty heavy crocking. I bought the all-in-one conditioning Primer+Sealer Satin Sealer and went over the the cushion the next day. I am still getting heavy crocking. What can I do next?
PS. The wine color matches perfectly and it looks really nice. Just need to figure out how to fix the crocking.
Thanks,
Marc
That is unusual, and my guess is going to be some lingering residue on the leather. Did the leather repel or absorb water prior to restoration? What did you use to clean? Buffing the color with a dry rag before and after applying the sealer should help. We’ll email you to continue this discussion.
