MATCH 'N PATCH Dark Brown Leather Repair Tape, 2.25" x 15' for Furniture

This duct tape was actually a really good color. I was trying to kind of matching my furniture outside and it actually worked really well. My furniture pieces were starting to fall apart in that retrospect of things I started to Kris Kross some of the pieces so that it would look the same as my material on the chairs and sofa piece and it actually did really well. I liked it and it will help to endure my fabric longer, so I really appreciate that.

This stuff is great for a quick patch on vinyl or leather. It's very sticky (more so than duck tape) so be careful and use sharp scissors when you cut it as it can stick to them making it difficult to cut. The two person method is best to avoid rough or white edges. Be sure to clean the area first with a non oil based cleaner, liquid dish soap and water is best. Once the area dries, cut the pieces to fit and carefully apply and smooth. It's best to cut lengthwise and use large pieces to be sure to cover enough surface area for a good stick. Works best in a controlled temperature, we have a new HVAC and keep our house cool in the summer which reduces humidity. If you don't use central AC, have older inefficient AC, or you don't let your AC run enough I can see the humidity causing the glue to lose efficiency so in those cases you would be better off getting a patch instead. Overall it works great for a cheap and easy repair to keep the area from getting worse. We're very pleased with our purchase. I only wish I would have gotten the dark brown instead, but we like low lighting so from a distance it's not noticeable to guests.

I want to start by saying that I tried two different leather/vinyl patch kits before I bought this tape. One of them I bought on Amazon (see my other reviews). Because the tear in my bench was at/near seams, the patch kits that involve putting a fabric substrate under the tear and using a vinyl adhesive DON'T WORK. In fact, after applying all that vinyl glue, the tears looked even worse than they did before. This tape was sort of my last hope of covering up some big ugly rips and keeping it from getting worse. Our 4 year old son is autistic and jumps off of EVERYTHING. ALL. DAY. LONG. This leather/vinyl storage bench (which we use to store all of his toy trains and tracks) clearly just couldn't handle the amount of climbing on a jumping that it has had to endure over the last year even though it's of pretty decent quality (purchased at RC Willey). We're thinking of sending him on a college tour to teach frat boys how to trash houses more quickly and efficiently. In the meantime, if my husband and I threw out and replaced every piece of furniture that our son has destroyed, we would be bankrupt by now, but we also don't want our home to look like a dumpster. Enter this 'last hope' tape. After the epic fail of the early attempts to repair the tears using kits, I had VERY low expectations of this product. I figured if it sort of matched and kept the tears from getting bigger, it would be a win. In short, I was very delightfully surprised and pleased with the result! Before I go any further, let me just get your expectations where they should be. This is leather colored tape. Period. Ok? Are we on the same page? Great. Let's continue. My storage bench is a dark brown leather/vinyl, so I bought the dark brown version of the tape. The match certainly isn't perfect, but close enough! The tape is more chocolate colored than our bench which has a little more red tones in it, but I doubt anything else would be closer. See pics. What I love about this tape is it's completely idiot proof, which I always appreciate. If you can be trusted with scissors, you can use this product. Fixing my tears was so quick and easy and I'm really pleased with the result! Up close you can definitely see it, but from 10ft away it's invisible (and I have 20/15 vision in both eyes)! See the pictures I included of up close vs 7ft away vs across the room. Guests in our home probably won't even notice it which was not the case before! Also, there is a leather-like grain printed on the tape. It's not extremely pronounced but I think is a nice feature. What I don't love as much about this tape is 1) It isn't a perfect color match, but again, is close enough. I think they would do well to offer more colors with subtle differences in tone. 2) I had hoped that, like duct tape, it had more of a thick "fabric" feel to it, but on the contrary, this is very tape-y tape. 3) I would've loved for the underside/sides of the tape to not be white. The white edges, while very thin, are definitely visible up close, and should it start to peel up in the future will be very noticeable. All in all, for $9 I'm thrilled with the result and would ABSOLUTELY buy this again and recommend to other buyers, assuming you have appropriate expectations (that it's TAPE not leather or vinyl). This has saved what was an eyesore piece of furniture and will enable us to keep it at least another year or so. So far it has held up to our son climbing and jumping and he hasn't even noticed it! I hope this has helped some other poor soul in the same situation! I did NOT receive this item free or at a discount

Didn’t stick for long. Lasted about two weeks. Color was right on the money though.

I received a leather couch, second hand, so I wasn't really willing to put a lot of money into repairing it. My dog does not take kindly to fireworks and ripped the heck out of the cushions. Laurel I ordered was for a dark brown couch and it matched perfectly. More importantly, it is thin enough to be smooth, while at the same time, extremely strong and durable. It is very easy to use and the box gives you a wonderful tip of putting a little oil (I used vegetable oil) to wipe on the scissor blades so that they don't become gummy from the adhesive. It cuts extremely well and the adhesive adheres to the leather flawlessly and holds up remarkably well. I highly recommend!

The cording around my expensive leather furniture was literally peeling apart. I called multiple furniture repair/upholstery companies in my area and no one is able to repair/replace the cording. They all say they don’t do that. I was ready to get rid of it but figured I would try this because at this point it couldn’t make it worse. The color is a perfect match.! It worked far better than I expected. Tip: I did use parchment paper as a sort of backing while I was cutting it into strips to prevent it from sticking to itself in the process and had to clean the scissors off a few times. Then I’d peel the parchment paper back as I was placing it around the cording which gave me more control. There are a few sections that I will probably redo because some of the old leather was left on the and I think it made it harder to stick to but overall this works really well. It dramatically improved the look of my leather furniture for under $30!

I purchased this to cover a small tear in the bolster of the drivers seat in my car. It was a good color match and looked great, until the adhesive no longer held the patch in place! Then I looked at the box and found the following text in small print ... "For indoor use only. NOT intended for strained surfaces." From this comment, the product is NOT for seat repair which became very obvious after a couple of days. So I now have a 14+ ft. length of "Match and Patch" that's useless for the intended purpose!

I am really happy with the tape. It worked perfect!

Adhesive to the tape not strong enough, after couple sits on sofa started peeling back

Hace su función bien, los filos donde se corta se ven blancos y hay luego que repasar con una crema con color para unificar, pero una buena compra, llegó en plazo y todo correcto

Klebeband mit Papieroptik hat nichts mit einer Lederoptik zu tun.

We had builders in over a year ago and they swapped over a door for us. In the process they had to shave the bottom of the door so it would fit which meant the vinyl 'leather' finish of the door started to ride up exposing the plain wood by an inch or two at the bottom. Needless to say they left it like that never to return and it's been annoying us ever since. Saw this tape and thought it was worth a gamble as it looked roughly the same colour and finish. It arrived the next day and we set about using it immediately on the door in question. We couldn't be happier with the result. The colour and finish is an exact match to the point where you hardly notice it as it's virtually an invisible mend. It was easy to apply and cut and was also the perfect size for the job in hand. Can't comment on the durability of it due to us only just applying it but it it's very sticky so hopefully it'll do the job and if it does end up coming away there's plenty more of it left on the roll. A little expensive for such a small roll but worth it for the finished result (see bottom of the door in the attached image).

This tape is easy to apply, sticks well and does the job. It's been a quick repair to peeling fake leather area on sofa
