Colourlock Fluid Leather Filler - 7ml

Minor damages can easily be repaired with COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather, a coloured filling material which can be used on small holes, tears, deeper scratches and cracks. COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather has filling and adhesive properties and remains soft and flexible after drying.

PREPARATION

• COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather is only recommended for damage where a filling is necessary. For scratches and general wear-and-tear on the colour surface we recommend smoothing the surface with the COLOURLOCK Leather Sanding Pad and refreshing the colour with COLOURLOCK Leather Fresh.
• The surface of COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather is smooth and shiny after drying. To hide the repair, apply COLOURLOCK Leather Fresh in the respective colour to the area. This covers the gloss of the COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather. Lightly dab the COLOURLOCK Leather Fresh several times with a sponge on the repair and dry with a hair dryer between layers until the desired covering is achieved.
• Degrease the repair area with COLOURLOCK Leather Cleaning Spirit in order to remove care product residue.
• Smooth rough areas and scratches with the COLOURLOCK Leather Sanding Pad before starting any repairs with COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather.
• For hardened leathers, always perform repairs with COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather before any treatment with COLOURLOCK Old Leather Softener. This oily treatment would reduce the adhesion of the COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather.

PROCEDURE

Fill the damaged areas with COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather and spread evenly with a spatula. Leave to dry for 1-2 hours, depending on the amount used. Repeat the procedure until the repaired area is as full and smooth as possible.

• Degrease with COLOURLOCK Leather Cleaning Spirit
• Smooth the surface with the COLOURLOCK Leather Sanding Pad.
• Fill cracks with COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather.
• Spread evenly with a spatula.

Where there is extensive damage it’s not always possible to smooth the surface evenly just by using the Spatula. Such areas have to be reworked. COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather cannot be sanded dry. This would damage the repair.

We recommend using the COLOURLOCK GLD Pen to smooth the repair. The GLD Solvent slightly dissolves the surface of the COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather and provides a smoother finish.

Open the lid of the COLOURLOCK GLD Pen and press down the felt tip several times until it is moistened. If the felt tip gets too moist, remove the excess quantity by cleaning it with a cloth. Smooth the repair area carefully with the moistened felt tip. When the repair area is wet with GLD, an additional treatment with the COLOURLOCK Leather Sanding Pad can be done to smooth the repair area. Always work with a small amount of GLD to prevent the repair area from becoming too dissolved. Using GLD, a repair can be adjusted to achieve the best possible result.

Professionals can repair the graining on a work area using a Repair Grain. Usually, old leathers are smooth and do not need a new graining.

The tip of the COLOURLOCK GLD Pen can be removed and reversed when worn. Especially when working on a new colour, it is necessary to change or turn the felt tip upside down.

Finally, repairs with COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather must be recoloured with COLOURLOCK Leather Fresh to balance differences in colour and gloss. In order to cover the COLOURLOCK Fluid Leather sufficiently, the COLOURLOCK Leather Fresh should be dabbed onto the area several times and dried between the layers with a hair dryer. After 24 hours treat the leather with Leather Protector.
