A Complete Guide to Repair a Torn Leather Jacket using E6000 Fabri-Fuse Glue


After gathering the necessary materials, you will follow these simple steps to repair your torn leather jacket:

➜ Step 1: Check Out the Damage


Thoroughly evaluate the tear in your leather jacket to estimate the size and extent of the damaged area. This estimation is necessary to choose the best possible repair method and material.

➜ Step 2: Clean the Damaged Part of the Jacket


Remove the dust from the leather jacket's tear with a wet cloth. If you have premium leather material, I will advise you to clean it with a Leather Hero Leather Cleaner and Conditioner. This will avoid further damage due to the moisture in the cleaning cloth.

➜ Step 3: Cut the Unwanted Threads


If you see any loose threads on the tear surface, gently remove them with scissors. Please do not cut additional leather in the area surrounding the tear.

➜ Step 4: Cut a Leather Patch


If the tear is small, then you do not need a patch. However, for a large tear cut a required size patch of a glove leather or a polycotton. Now, put this leather patch on the tear portion accurately.

Note: Please make the patch round shaped as the patch corners can cause issues once placed on the tear.

➜ Step 5: Apply the E6000 Fabri-Fuse Glue


Then, put a thin layer of E6000 Fabri-Fuse on the edges and body of the tear. Follow the application instructions on the adhesive label.

Note: If you are fixing the tear with a leather patch, put a thin layer on the back of the patch and place it on the tear.

➜ Step 6: Press the Tear Edges Together


Now, delicately press the edges of the tear. You can do this by using your fingers or two toothpicks. Hold the edges at their original place for a few minutes to ensure the firm bonding of the leather.

➜ Step 7: Fill the Leftover Gap of the Tear


If you find a leftover gap in the tear, you can fill it with a Leather Hero Leather Filler using spatula. Once it is dry, make it smooth with sandpaper and then apply the same color leather paint that of your leather.

➜ Step 8: Restore the Leather with Conditioner


After completion of the repair process, apply Leather Hero Leather Conditioner to the whole jacket. It will restore the moisture, flexibility, elegance, and appearance of your leather jacket.

Pro Tips for Perfect Repair


Following the repair process is not enough. You should also remember these tips to make leather jacket repair successful:

◈ Restoring Worn-out Jacket Lining: Often, the leather jacket lining gets worn out with time, compromising the shielding from environmental impact. Therefore, replace the lining while repairing the tear. It will give an entirely new look and feel to your leather jacket.

◈ Accurate Alignment: Perfectly align the broken edges of a leather tear. You can use tweezers to do this task accurately.

◈ Test Glue Compatibility: Do not apply the  E6000 Fabri-Fuse glue directly on the leather jacket. Instead, try it on a smaller part first to check its compatibility with your leather jacket material.

◈ Give Enough Time for Drying: The E6000 Fabri-Fuse glue gets set within 5-8 minutes of application. However, waiting for 24 hours is recommended because it ensures a long-lasting bond and strength. You can check it on the hidden area of your leather jacket.

◈ Store Properly: Do not put your replaced leather jacket in a moisturized place to avoid wreaking off adhesive bonds. Moreover, avoid wearing it for 48 hours of repair because it can also affect the strength of the bond.

Following these steps, you can repair not only a leather jacket but also any other leather item.
