MastaPlasta Self-Adhesive Premium Leather Repair Patch. Navy Leather 8in x 4in (20 x 10 cm). Instant Upholstery Quality Repair Patch for Sofas, Car Interiors, Bags, Vinyl & More

Way overpriced at $17 for on 4x8" patch. Color match is uncertain from the product photos. So why 5 stars....the patch works extremely well.I have a 10 year old dark brown leather sofa with several worn spots, one on each arm, a couple on the seat. These had evolved into ragged holes about the size of a quarter with foam backing exposed. Looking through the repair options I decided to order these patches despite the difficulty of determining the actual color and effectiveness of the patch. The AZ reviews were far better than the other choices.The order arrived and the first surprise: The patches were darker brown than they appeared on the Amazon site and they were a very good match to the color of my sofa. The final appearance when installed integrated well with the background leather of the couch and the patches weren't noticeable to the casual observer. Only close inspection would one realize the arms were patched. I am very happy with the results and feel much better about the exorbitant cost.A few notes on installation:Install these carefully. The glue backing is extremely good, once in place you won't move them without tearing the leather. A couple reviews indicated that they didn't stick well. I can only surmise that the user did not properly clean the leather surface (removing any oils and/or leather treatment on it).Do not remove all the backing paper before installing the patch. Here's the trick:1. Peel back about one inch at one end and fold that one inch of paper back against the patch.2. Carefully stick that one exposed inch of glue to the proper spot. That will fix the position of the patch.3. Reach under the patch, grab the end of the peeled backing and slowly peel it down the rest of the way while using your other hand to smooth the patch in place.

Well made 👈

I really like the product. I have a couple of Herman Miller Aeron chairs and on my older one, the leather on the arm rests just started cracking. This chair sees daily use on weekdays (home office) and I actively use my arm rests throughout the day. I found these when I broke down and started looking at replacement parts. For my needs, these worked great. They provided the right size of coverage over the cracked area and cover a majority of the arm rest and they went on easily. Happy camper with initial results and all worked well.Fast forward to a year later. The adhesive underneath is a lot like duct tape. After a year of grind, the adhesive is starting to wear. These are starting to slide from their original position and exposing the tacky surface below. They are also starting to peel at the edges. I have a feeling that these would last longer on a different type of surface that did not see the amount of use and friction that my arm rests do.The net is that one year out I am looking to replace these as I am getting tired of putting my arm down in the sticky stuff and having these sliding around. Debating whether I just use these again or bite the bullet and replace the arm rests at this time.

I purchased this product to repair the leather seat in my truck. I love my truck and when my German Shepard (who is NEVER allowed in the front of my truck!) decided to jump in the drivers seat, tearing a triangular hole in it, I WAS MAD! Made me sick as well. The tear was about 2 1/2” long and in a bottom rear area that flexes a lot when getting in and out. I was not going to be able to look at that tear every time I got in my truck without getting mad, so I initially looked for OEM replacement seat covers. At $200, it was a good option but a lot of work and a bit pricey. I looked at all those patch compounds that make it “good as new”, but I just don’t buy it. I thought I would do a quick search here for leather patches just to see. Well this was advertised as real leather and my seats are black (so not hard to color match), decent reviews and for the price I was willing to give it a try. I figured my only other option was replacing the entire cover anyway, so only would be out the price of the patch if it didn’t work.I got a big patch with the intention of trimming it to size. The patch is real leather, thick enough to stand up to wear, but flexible enough to contour to the seat. I cut it in such a way that there was adiquit overlap from the tear. The edges are finished nicely on the precut edges, so I placed the edge I cut down in a seem. I cleaned the leather of any oil or dirt, pulled the tear together and applied the patch by simply peeling the backer and rubbing it in to the seat. I am very pleased with the result! The patch sticks very well so get it right the first time. After a couple months the patch has taken on the normal creases in the seat with no sign of wear and absolutely no lifting around the edges. It not magic, you can see the patch when looking for it, but it doesn’t look bad at all and it is permanent.****update****Over a year later and the patch looks as good as the day I put it on. The edges have not lifted in the slightest! This is in a high flex location where my butt slides in and out with jeans on. I expect that this patch may outlast the original leather. I was so impressed that I used some of what was left from the trimmed patch to repair a worn spot on my favorite leather recliner.

Great 👍

Colour match good and covered tear in sofa well. Easy to use & good adhesion.

Excellent stuff repaired my couch no problem

Ok not a perfect colour match but I wasn’t prepared to re upholster the whole couch, we’ve had a naughty puppy chew a hole and this product was perfect just to patch it up as we always have throws over the sofa anyway. Sticks a lot better than I thought it would and the leather feels lovely. Great product !

I had a small hole in my pinky red sofa. This patch has tidied it back up and it will last for years. I don’t mind that the patch is slightly the wrong pink or that it’s clearly a patch on the surface, it actually looks quite funky!
