The leather repair and restoration products listed on this page are intended for use by trade professionals who are familiar with the processes and practices involved in the leather repair and restoration business.

Primers (adhesion promoters)

Product Description: PR-1 is a water-based resin used in conjunction with ADV Leather Cleaner or denatured alcohol to ensure adhesion on leather surfaces prior to repairs or color application. PR-1 is appropriate for all types of leather, including problematic leathers such as nitrocellulose finished, pull-up, oil-tanned, or pH damaged. Another attribute of PR-1 is it provides hold-out when finishing open-pored leathers, such as full- or semi-aniline, to retain softness and break characteristics. It can also be used on finished leathers, to promote adhesion on leather surfaces exhibiting signs of poor adhesion such as peel-up or flaking, or leathers that fail adhesion tests prior to repair compound or finish application. It is supplied in concentrate form, and should be mixed at a 1:3 ratio with ADV Leather Cleaner or denatured alcohol, although higher concentrations of PR-1 can be used in mixtures using ADV Leather Cleaner. We recommend no higher than 1:2.

PR-2 is designed specifically for promoting adhesion on leather which already has a finish or surface coating on it. It is more effective bonding new finishes to existing finishes than PR-1, but should NOT be used on unfinished leather, or finished leather surfaces where the existing finish is moderately to severely compromised. If PR-2 is allowed to penetrate into the leather's inner fiber structure, it will stiffen almost all types of leather. PR-2 can be mixed with denatured alcohol or acetone, at a ratio of 1:3 resin to solvent.

SG-4 is an economical one-step cleaner, pH corrector, and primer for all types of leather surfaces that is supplied ready to use.

PR-1 pre-mix and SG-4 primers can be used when converting a nubuck leather to a finished leather, but neither product should be used on suede.

Leather Oil Stain Remover (Oil Extractor)

Product Description: Used to remove oils from leather, from small stains to areas saturated with human or pet body oils. Usually the result of repeated, extended exposure, oil saturation is most commonly found in headrest, arm-front, or seat-top areas, and represents as a concentrated darkening of a particuar area.

Please note - Unless treating small, single-incident stains such as salad or sun-tan oil spills, the repeated use of oil extractor on areas of heavy accumulation will most likely bleach the color from the area treated on unfinished leathers, and will require subsequent color application to fully restore the area to the original aesthetic. If you are not a leather repair technician, we recommend contacting us prior to purchase so that we can help you establish a restoration strategy after the oil extraction process.

Moisturizer

Product Description: Moisturizer is designed to re-instill moisture into dry and/or stiffened leather. It is not effective unless it can penetrate into the fiber structure, so use on finished leathers is not recommended unless finish can be removed prior to application, or product can be applied to the suede side of the leather. It is very effective in restoring moisture content, and softening stiff, aged leather (particularly anilines, pull-up leathers, and nubuck leathers). Moisturizer is for spray application using either HVLP or a pump sprayer.
