How do you repair a leather scratch?

Answer by  Travis404607 (3916)

You can either take the item to a cobbler for a professional repair, or you can often find leather scratch repair kits online, or at leather stores.

First use some olive oil and a cotton cloth. Rub it over the scratch. Next use a damper cloth to rub over the scratch. Leave the damp cloth there as you press an iron down on it. Next match the color of your leather with some shoe polish. Use a cotton tip swab gently to apply the shoe polish.

I don't think leather scratches are repairable. I know it's very unfortunate but there is nothing that can be done to actually repair something like that. You can of course add new material and then cover that up but honestly it's not going to do anything. Scratches on leather are not good.

There are about a million ways to repair a leather scratch but the most effective and long lasting that I have found is to buy the leather markers and match it up to whatever color the piece with the scratch is and color it then make sure it doesnt get touched by the sun or anything else until it dries.

Take a hair dryer, on the lowest setting, and heat the scratch. While doing this, take a finger and rub and blend the scratch together.
