Hole Subpatch KIT
$10 – $16.50
Holes, tears, and cuts in leather or vinyl must be reinforced with a subpatch before filler can be applied.
Our Subpatch Kit comes with:
- single denim or twill patch (choose size)
- 1 oz. tube of 3M Plastic Emblem & Trim Adhesive.
If you can feel the damage, such that a gentle sanding won’t correct it, then repair is recommended.
If you are repairing any vinyl or severe cat ‘scratching post’ damage, scaliness, or cracking on real leather like this:
Buy our Vinyl Repair & Leather Filler Kit. Use a needle tool for thin cracks or small gouges. Buy a palette knife for larger areas.
If you have tears or holes through the material like this:
Buy a Subpatch Kit plus the Vinyl Repair & Leather Filler Kit.
This article has more info and a video demonstration. For holes larger than 3" in diameter, consider glueing a top-patch of similar material to the subpatch before applying filler.
If you have isolated cat scratches or small scrapes or nicks on real leather like this:
Buy our Leather Cat Scratch Repair Kit. Apply tiny beads of super glue and sand to create a filler. Learn how here.
