Cracked surface

· 4 replies · 3198 views
Hello, I just repaired (in test) 2 scratches on the leatherette central armrest of a car I renovate, in the end and after drying the surface treated by the repairer is cracked, is it normal, do I have to repeat the operation or after recoloring the cracked appearance will disappear?
Thank you for your feedback because I intend to repair the conductive seat, nothing bad, cracks, scratches but I doubt the result and wish to succeed in this armrest before attacking the conductive seat whose surface to be treated is much larger. I had to skip a step!? (for the armrest, I cleaned, sanded lightly, applied the product, let it dry, replied and since small cracks on the surface redone)
Sincerely

    Hello,

    Did you speed up the drying process? These cracks are typical of too fast drying or too thick a deposit of product... The product being liquid should have infiltrated into the cracks. Try to apply a layer of re-colouring agent on it and above all let it dry naturally without exposure to the sun.

    to avoid going back to this work twice, isn't it better to remove the product and start over?

    Remove the product, apply a coat of recolourant beforehand or mix recolourant with the snag repair to ensure that it seeps well into the cracks.
