Expert Guide to Fixing Cracked Leather Sofas

At this stage, the leather sofa should be ready for recolouring. To that end, the restorer blends different pigments to recreate the original shade and applies the first layer with a sponge. It is followed by a second and third layer, but instead of using a sponge, the professional uses an airbrush to ensure the colour is applied evenly. Once the surface dries, they apply at least three layers of hardwearing topcoat sealant to protect the furniture piece from UV, friction, and cracking.
