Leather Glue 3D

Leather Glue 3D aka Bond 3D by Leather Doctor is a water-based medium soft leather adhesive for tears, rips, cat scratches, and bonding repairs.

Glue 3D will not lift or damage the leather finishes, unlike other dry solvent-based glue.

Glue 3D works in conjunction with Leather Patch 4S as sub-patch or suede fibers as fillers.

1: How to Repair a Leather Cut-Through with Glue 3D?

1. 1: Cut-through repairs utilize Patch 4S as a leather sub-patch and this is bonded suede side to suede side.

1. 2: Where tension causes the leather to open, it is stretched to an overlapping position with some pulling help.

1. 3: Preferably the Patch 4S is glued to one side first before gluing the other side to reduce the overlapping effort.

1. 4: This is a slow-drying product thus a blower may come helpful to speed up the drying process.

1. 5: The bonding process will require the glue to cure for tension strength, thus holding the rip in position until fully cured is necessary.

1. 6: Vertical filling gap may be done with added matching coloring for aesthetic.

2: How to Repair a Fresh and Clean Accident Leather Abrasion with Glue 3D?

2. 1: Abrasion in most cases will roughen up the leather structure with missing finishes.

2. 2: Any soiling is removed with brushing prior to applying Glue 3D to smooth the damages.

2. 3: Repeat application is necessary to build the smooth skin back gradually.

2. 4:  Color matching is done accordingly to the finish types. 

3: How to Repair a Prolonged Contaminated Leather Abrasion & Holes with Glue 3D?

3. 1: Constant abrasion with repeat compression may loosen and weaken the leather structure compound with a loss of fibers or missing parts.

3. 2: Repairs to such neglected damages may take on a holistic approach to restore systematically the damages.

3. 3: Degreasing with Degreaser 2.2 is recommended to remove surface and penetrated oil and grease soiling in conjunction with Rinse 3.0 to remove foreign contamination.

3. 4: Leather rejuvenation is also recommended to restore the leather's softness and strength with Hydrator 3.3 followed by Fatliquor 5.0.

3. 5: Tightening the leather structure may be necessary to restore over-stretched leather with Impregnator 26.

3. 6: Shallow abrasion is first smooth with Repairer R4.

3. 7: Bonding repair with Glue 3D commence thereafter with smoothening, and filling with donor suede fiber, especially for aniline leathers.

3. 8: Repair prepares the surface for color refinishing that follows with Adhesor 73, matching coloring, and matching topcoat that ends with rub-resistant protection with Protector B.

4: How to Repair Hair-on-Hide Leather Rip or Tear Repair with Glue 3D?

4. 1: Rip or tear is the result of diminished fatliquor (ionic charged fat and oil) from aging or alkaline overexposure.

4. 2: The structure needs to be clean, pH balanced and fatliquor replenished up to 15% to supple it before repairing, otherwise the stiff hide may tend to tear again when flexed.

4. 3: The repair may be performed with a bonding Patch 4S or with stitching and camouflaging donor suede fibers.

5: How to Repair Hair-on-Hide Leather with Glue 3D and Patch 4S?

5. 1: A 1” Patch 4S strip is sufficient to bond a rip with approximately 1/2” on both sides.

5. 2: Glue 3D is applied sufficiently to half an inch along the rip to penetrate and the 1” Patch 4S is also applied half sufficiently.

5. 3: The Patch 4S is placed and pressed accordingly.

5. 4: Let naturally dry with the hair drying option before repeating the other half and align accordingly.

5.5: Let overnight cure and the hide is ready to flip over to proceed with cleaning the hair side.

6: How to Repair Hair-on-Hide Leather with Glue 3D by Stitching and Donor Fiber?

6. 1: The hide is cross-stitched with a curve needle to hold the rip together.

6. 2: Glue 3D is applied about ½” on both sides of the rip.

6. 3: Donor fiber is scraped with Razor 60 from the thicker areas of the hide, especially the head and shoulder areas, and applied over the stitching camouflaging it.

6. 4: The repair is left to naturally dry or option drying with a hair dryer.

6. 5: Let overnight cure and the hide is ready to flip over to proceed with cleaning the hair side.

7: How to Repair Cracks on Leather with Glue 3D?

7. 1: Leather is degreased, pH balanced, clean, and rinse accordingly.

7. 2: Soiling is removed and scrap cleaned to reveal the suede fiber.

7. 3: Fillers like thread and suede fiber are used as fillers and bond with Glue 3D.

7. 4: This system will ensure the bonding is stronger and lasts longer when compared with other filling types of products.

7. 5: Note: Leather filler and stucco repairs often show signs of early failure in cracking and your refinishing to cover it up has gone to waste too soon.
