Body Perspiration Leather Restoration
On this magnolia sofa the customer had noticed a scratch located in the head area. Upon the technicians arrival the technician was able to determine that the scratch was in fact body perspiration.
After sanding down the scratch to gain a smooth surface the technician has sanded away some more of the leather. This is where the body perspiration was sitting underneath the leather and it was awaiting peeling off.
Final Touches
Final Touches
Once the damaged area is smooth the technician then begins to spray leather dye over it using the air brush. The colour is built up by thin layers each carefully dried with a hair dryer before another layer is applied. Finally once the layers have been built up the last layer of colour is applied. It’s evenly spread across the panel to ensure the repaired area correctly colour matches to the rest of the sofa.
The technician applies the final layer onto the repaired area. This is of the lacquer which is used to seal the repair. Once completed the area needs to be left for at least 1 hour until it is dry enough to touch. This is if the customer wishes to have a closer look at the repair however we do not recommend it. The area should then not be used for approximately 48 hours. This depending on how much colour and filler is applied during the repair and on how much damage there was.
