Extremely Flexible Filler Used To Repair Surface Cracking
A highly flexible leather surface crack filler which has extremely strong holding properties that is able to invisibly fill large areas of surface cracking, crazing, surface splits, fine scratches and worn leather when used with our in conjunction with our Leather Crack Repair Kit (click here).
Before using the leather crack filler, we strongly recommend that you apply Leather Prep Wash (click here) to clean the surface, and then Leather Binder (click here) to secure the cracks for stronger & longer lasting repairs, and finally our Leather & Vinyl Repair Paints (click here) to colour over the filler, blending in the repairs.
What is Surface Crack Filler?
Leather Surface Crack Filler is a low viscosity type leather filler designed to be self levelling and sink into very fine surface cracks and scratches found on heavily used leather and vinyl surfaces, such as lounge seat cushions. Dries to an off white colour but can be tinted using Leather & Vinyl Paints prior to application to achieve a closer colour match. The crack filler remains flexible and will not crack or fall out as it stretches and flexes with the surface. Having an adhesive within the filler creates an extremely strong bond with the leather or vinyl. For the most long lasting repair we strongly recommend using Leather Binder (click here) before applying the Surface Surface Crack Filler.
Do You Need More Than Just Surface Crack Filler?
Leather Surface Crack Filler is very effective but it must optimally be applied after the leather Binder, which prepares the surface. In order to permanently repair leather cracking you must first clean the leather and secure the splits & cracks from expanding using our Leather Binder (click here).
If your wanting to carry out additional leather repairs then consider purchasing our Essentials Leather Crack Repair Kit (click here) which includes this leather crack filler inside!

FAQs
FAQs
What's the difference between Surface crack filler and Leather & Vinyl filler paste?
Surface crack filler is used to fix areas of cracking and crazes leather surface. The Leather and Vinyl filler is used to repair deeper holes, rips and tears etc.
Do I need anything else other than the Surface crack filler?
Yes. The Surface crack filler is just one part of the repair process, to successfully repair surface cracks you will need to use prep wash, binder and colourant. Or purchase the Leather Crack repair kit and have it all in one handy kit.
Can Surface Crack Filler be used on Vinyl or faux leather?
Yes its compatible. NOTE- It will not fix delaminating on Faux leather though.
What happens if I just use Surface crack filler on its own?
The filler will not fix the cracking issue. If no binder is used then there is nothing stopping the cracking for deteriorating. If surface crack filler is applied and left the colour will not match the leather and you will be left with a off white patch. We always recommend using the full Leather crack kit to complete the repairs.
Surface Crack filler is not as smooth or level with the surface what can I do?
Crack filler can be sanded with wet and dry 600 or 1200 grade sand paper. Once level ensure you wipe over the area with prep wash to remove the dust before applying colour.
Does the Surface crack filler need colouring over?
Yes. The filler dries to an off white colour and will require our Leather & Vinyl paint to match in to the surrounding areas.
Will the Crack filler have a leather look?
No, the filler leaves a smooth finish and doesn't replicate the textured grain. The ideal finish of the filler is to fill just the cracks leaving the textured leather mostly untouched.
What colour is the Crack filler?
The filler dries to an off white colour. The filler can be tinted with our Leather and Vinyl paints prior to application to achieve a closer colour match.

(verified owner)I first used the repair kit, but felt I needed a little more filler. The site is easy to use, goods are dispatched and received very quickly. Following the directions I was able to repair a recliner chair and I am thrilled with the result.
