I have a 7 year old red bicast leather chair that is beginning to crack and flake. Will this help prevent further flaking and damage?

First of all. I wonder if your chair is really leather or bonded leather. There is a difference. Bonded leather will crack and flake. I have a real leather Stressless Recliner that is over fifteen years old and the only wear and tear that it shows is some of the tanning color is gone in spots, but it is not flaking or cracking. I really don't believe you have high quality leather and that your leather is bonded. Of course, I have always used Leather Masters. If you have used anything that is damaging to the leather that will also cause the leather to deteriorate.

My couch does not crack or flake, but I use this product every four months. I would say it couldn't hurt to try because I am assuming you have not kept it moisturized and that is why it is flaking. Good Luck! It is a good product.

The chair is covered with a very durable chair fabric, I feel the fabric covering will last a considerable length of time.

I don't know? I redid old resin chairs which I scrubbed clean with steel wool to remove the powdery residue. try on something else first to see.

I have a Norwegian leather chair that is 8 years old and is dark red. It looks and feels the same as the day it was delivered it, I apply Leather master every spring and fall. I have a good quality dark brown lambskin leather pilot jacket for 7 years and it is still soft. I would try a small patch where you can't see like the leather on the bottom of the back of the sofa.

Stormsure takes a little time to firm up, so it will run off the location if not completely flat, if you can position the seat so the repair area is flat and that the damaged area is not to big it will be OK.

I've used this for about 2 months and don't have any damage to leather. We are using a toddler car seat if that matters.

It sure doesn't seem to damage the leather. I've been using three of these for two months and so far my seats are in great shape.

Hi Diesel - We would definitely recommend using Leather Afterlife after your seats have been resprayed.THANKS!The Leather Afterlife Team at Intervine

I would first reinforce the backside. Go to a fabric or upholstery fabric shop and get some tape that has a self-bonding agent on it that is covered with a plastic/paper strip that peels off. Position the piece underneath pull the cover strip on one side first, pressing material into place, then do the other side being careful that the tear is well aligned. Then use the vinyl/leather repair on top of it.

The chair probably could be taken apart a few times before the wood would be overused and the screws might loosen. I have had this chair on my deck in New Mexico sun, and it has been a dream to use. I have a canvas cover for it and have noticed some fading on the wood that is constantly exposed. A good tung oil application will bring the chair back in the spring. Keep in mind we have 360 days of sun and I am at 5000 ft. It is a great buy for the price.

Depends on what you are applying it to.If it's a sofa or chair that gets used on a regular basis I would recommend once every 90 days to keep the leather moist. If it's a jacket or shoes and they tend to be out in the rain every 30 days.

I don't know. My chairs are microfiber. I wouldn't recomment them for a leather chair because that surface is smoother than the microfiber and it slides off the microfiber as soon as you sit on it, if you don't have it secured

to this day I am trying to find that out without burning a hole into the chair or if it's not leather melting it.....but I clean it with leather wipes and it's holding up great. so even if it's synthetic, it's really good quality, and the cushion is also holding up nicely. I am happy with it.

I've used mine as my primary office chair for about a year now, and the faux leather has separated along the seam at the back corners. Otherwise, it's a nice chair, but I really don't care for the falling apart bit. Oh, also, theres a band around the bottom where the metal would otherwise contact the floor, and the band has begun to disintegrate as well. It's about 1/3 gone now. Since I use it on carpet, this isn't a big deal, except that I don't like finding bits of my chair lying on the floor. The post mechanism has held up flawlessly.

I have had my chair for about 2 years and it has not discolored. I use window cleaner, and it works just fine!

No it's vinyl. Leather would wear out. This is better on chairs. No maintenance.

It has not ruined mine but the arms in my chair are made of some type of rubber. I don't know how it will be with leather. It will definitely leave a mark on a leather arm chair.
