Clean the surface: Gently clean the peeled or cracked area using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Allow it to dry fully.
Smooth the surface: Lightly sand the peeling edges to smooth them out and remove any loose flakes. Wipe away the dust with a clean, dry cloth.
Apply filler: Use a palette knife to apply leather filler over the damaged area. Smooth it out evenly and thinly, blending it into the surface. Let it dry completely (you may use a hairdryer to speed this up).
Repeat if needed: For deeper cracks or missing patches, apply a second thin layer of filler. Allow it to dry fully again.
Paint the surface: Once the filler is dry and smooth, apply leather paint or matching acrylic paint over the repaired area. Use a sponge or soft brush for even coverage. Let it dry thoroughly.
Seal it: Finish with a layer of clear leather sealer or matte finisher to protect the surface and give it a uniform appearance. Let it cure completely before using the item.
