Need help with upholstry touchup.

ib042129 · Jan 30, 2007

I need to touch up my upholstry on the doors a bit.
Some pieces need to be glued to the door basically.
Now I was thinking that I would get a syringe and a large
needle so that I can very precicely add the glue and even
puncture the upholstry a little bit.
Now my question is: What glue should I use if I need to glue
leather to plastic? (The door pannel stuff.) Should I use some
sort of long setting epoxy, or silicone gell, or some other kind of glue?

And I guess a side question is, what can I use to color the leather?
My leather was scratched when some asshole broke into my car some
time ago, and basically I have this patch of gray on my black leather.
What can I use to color that in?
THanks in advance.

For the first part, that's wayy more work than it's worth. Just pull the piece off and use some 3M spray adhesive on the back and reapply. As for the second part, I have no idea. I have cloth.

No it's not more work, I'm having touble with the corners where the leather ends and the plastic begins that's why I want to apply it so precicely.

My concern with your way is that you really can't use the right type of adheisive. You don't want anything that going to be thick or dry hard. As for coloring the leather, you can use sems dye. It's s spray can. It will make things like your seats harder and wear after awhile but if it's close to stock color, it shouldn't matter.
