This is an impulsive buy. Only reason because price is low, but forgot shipping to Canada is not cheap, lol. End up with $50 total. Wish this is the last time I will do stupid things like this. It has bad piping damaging, I figured best to address the pipping problem before dunk.
These are the steps of repair:
1. Remove about 2” stitches around damaged area.
2 Cut 2 small leather pieces and skive them thin, bigger piece go under the pipping, smaller piece is to fill up the area pipping is missing.
3.Use contact cement glue the leather pieces and pipping together.
4.Dye the added leather piece, and stitch back the pipping.
Now need to wait for dye to settle then dunk. Probably will need to redye the repaired part as color is not a good match, or touch up with paint after rehab.
ETA: used needle to poke some small holes on the added leather, as the texture was too smooth.
