We use a very strong leather cleaner and a brush working deep in to the grain of the leather, every panel needs to be cleaned correctly not cleaning the leather can cause adhesion problems latter on.Leather PrepLeather prep is similar to what the car paint industry product which is call Panel wipe. We use this product to remove the top coat of the manufactures finish which also helps to remove silcones from the leather. This process is used across the whole sofa. Once the sofa is leather prep’ed for the first time you then a use a 400 grit wet & dry sand paper over the whole sofa this helps with keying the leather which helps with the adhesion of the leather dyes.Base CoatWe apply a base coat by hand using a cloth and the leather dye making sure you work panel to panel and that every part is covered, this needs to be thin coats which are built up, the thiner the coat the better the finish and durability. If you apply thick coats the leather colour change would not be as affective. These coats can by dryer off using a hairdryer on medium heat we don’t need to over heat the leather dye just cure the dye off. This process is repeated until you have a good coverage of the sofa.Top CoatThe top coat is using the same dye but using a different method of application for this we use a air brush this gives a nice even finish to you leather making the sofa fully uniform, we again build up a few layers ensuring the correctly coverage of the leather and that all parts are covered.Sealed CoatWe apply three coats of sealant which is applied using a airbrush for this seals in the the leather colour change leaving the sofa fully colour changed and sealed ready for you.
